Question

Perform the following calculations. Make sure the units of the solution are correct.

a.10 Kbps * 3

b.10 Mbps * 3 sec

c.Convert 2400 bits to bytes

Answer 1

30 Kbps

30 Mb

300 bytes

Step-by-step explanation:

a. 10 Kbps * 3 = (10 * 3) Kbps = 30 Kbps [Note: numbers and units are aggregated and processed separately]

b. 10 Mbps * 3 sec = (10 * 3) Mbps * sec = 30 Mbps*s = 30 Mb [Note: numbers and units are aggregated and processed separately]b

c. Byte is a unit of storage in a computer. 1 byte is made up of eight bits, while each bit can be either 0 or 1.

1 byte = 8 bit

=> 1 bit = 1/8 byte

=> 2400 bits = 1/8 * 2400 = 300 bytes
