The data transfer rate through the ADSL connection is 32000 bytes / s.

The data transfer rate through the ADSL connection is 32000 bytes / s. This connection transmits a file of 10000 kbps. Determine the file transfer time in seconds.

1. Let’s translate the connection speed of 32000 bytes / sec into Kbps.

To do this, you need to know that: 1 byte = 8 bits; 1 kbps = 1024 bits.

We get: 32000 bytes = 32000 * 8/1024 = 250 Kbps.

The connection speed is 250 Kbps.

2. Determine the transmission time of the 10,000 kbps file:

10000/250 = 40

Answer: 40 seconds.
