The text, created using the 256-character alphabet, is arranged on 1024 pages of 64 lines, 128 characters per line. It was transmitted over the network in 2 minutes and 80 seconds. Determine the baud rate.

Let’s find the number of characters in the text: 1024 pages * 64 lines * 128 characters = 8 388 608 characters In the alphabet, 256 characters are 2 ^ 8, which means that 8 bits or 1 byte are needed to encode 1 character. 8 388 608 characters = 8 388 608 bytes = 131 072 kB Convert the time into seconds: 2 min 80 sec = 200 sec Divide the file size by the time, and we get the speed: 131 072 kB / 200 sec = 655.36 kbytes / sec
Answer: 655.36 KB / sec
