Question

If it takes a specific phone 16 seconds to download a 2 megabyte (MB) file, how many megabytes can this phone download in 15 minutes?

Answer 1

112,5 MB

Explanation:

First, we have to convert the given minutes into seconds:

15 × 60 = 900 (s)

Now, let's make a proportion:

2 MB - 16 s

x MB - 900 s

Use the property of the proportion to find x:

x = 900 × 2 / 16 = 112,5 (MB)
