Answer:
0.01s, 0.008s, 800s.

Step-by-step explanation:

To send 10 bits at 1000 bps, it would take 0.01 seconds.

To send a character that is 8 bits, it would take 0.008 seconds.

To send out 100,000 characters, it would take 800 seconds (just over 13 minutes).

Note that a good internet speed is 25Mbps, or 2.5e+7 bps.
