Question

How many nanoseconds does it take for a computer to perform one calculation if it performs 8.2 * 10^7 calculations per second physics?

Answer 1

The computer takes 12.19512.... nanoseconds to perform one calculation.

Step-by-step explanation

The computer performs 8.2× 10⁷ calculations per second.

We know that, 1 second = 10⁹ nanoseconds.

Suppose, the computer takes
`t` nanoseconds to perform one calculation.

So, the time taken to perform 8.2× 10⁷ calculations
`=t(8.2*10^7)` nanoseconds.

Thus the equation will be............

`t(8.2*10^7)=10^9\\ \\ t= (10^9)/(8.2*10^7)= 12.19512......`

So, the computer takes 12.19512.... nanoseconds to perform one calculation.
