Question

3) To transmit information on the internet, large files are broken into packets of smaller sizes. Each packet has 1500 bytes of information. = An equation relating packets to bytes of information is given by b = 1500p where p represents the number of packets and b represents the number of bytes. How many packets would be needed to transmit 30000 bytes of information? Show your work using the equation. b = 1500p =

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} b=1500p \\ b=30000 \\ \text{Then} \\ 30000=1500p \\ \text{Solving p} \\ p=(30000)/(1500) \\ p=20 \\ 20\text{ }packets\text{ are neede to transmit 30000 bytes} \end{gathered}`
