Answer:
4.1\text{ megabytes per second}

Explanation:

Given: Initial load of megabytes in his flash drive before transfer = 36.5 MB

Final load of megabytes in his flash drive after transfer = 549 MB

The increase in load =
549-36.5=512.5\ MB

Time taken to transfer files = 125 seconds

The speed of transfer is the rate of change of load by with respect to time.

Thus,
\text{speed}=\frac{\text{increase in load }}{\text{Time}}


=(512.5)/(125)=4.1\text{ megabytes per second}

For this case, the first thing you should know is that the speed of the transfer is given by
Speed = Megabytes / time
Substituting
V = (549) / (125)
V = 4.392 mb / s
answer
the speed of the transfer was 4,392 mb / s
