Question

The speed at which a certain computer can access the Internet is 2 megabytes per second. How fast is this in megabytes per hour?

Answer 1

Each hour has 60 minutes, and each minute has 60 seconds.

So, each hour has 60*60=3600 seconds.

thus, i second is 1/3600 hour.


The speed of the internet is:

`(2megabytes)/(second)= (2megabytes)/(1/3600hour)=2\cdot3600 (megabytes)/(hour)=7200(megabytes)/(hour)`


Answer: 7200 megabytes/hour
