The combined processing power of all four processors working together is found by adding their individual processing speeds, resulting in a total of 12.1 GHz.
To calculate the combined processing power of the four processors, we simply need to add the processing speeds of each one, measured in gigahertz (GHz). Here's how we do it step-by-step:
Add the speed of Processor A (3.2 GHz) to Processor B (2.8 GHz): 3.2 GHz + 2.8 GHz = 6.0 GHz.
Add the speed of Processor C (3.5 GHz) to the above total: 6.0 GHz + 3.5 GHz = 9.5 GHz.
Lastly, add the speed of Processor D (2.6 GHz) to get the final combined processing power: 9.5 GHz + 2.6 GHz = 12.1 GHz.
The answer is that the combined processing power of the four processors when they work simultaneously is 12.1 GHz, which corresponds to option A.
The probable question may be:
In a computing system, there are four processors (Processor A, Processor B, Processor C, and Processor D) with varying processing speeds. The processing speeds, measured in GHz, are as follows:
Processor Processing Speed (GHz)
A 3.2
B 2.8
C 3.5
D 2.6
If each processor is tasked with executing a specific set of instructions, what is the combined processing power (in GHz) when all four processors work simultaneously to complete their respective tasks?
Options:
A) 12.1 GHz
B) 12.6 GHz
C) 11.4 GHz
D) 13.2 GHz
