A computer downloads a 48 kB file 5 seconds. At this rate, how long will it take the computer to download a file that is 120 kB?

48 divide by 5 is 9.6 which is the rate at which the computer downloads files (9.6 per second). So at this rate 120/9.6 is 12.5 which means 12.5 is how many seconds the computer takes to download a 120kb file!
