Question

4. How long (in seconds) will it take a file of 410 kB to downloadat a speed of 10000 bytes per second?

Answer 1

Given:

a.) A file of 410 kB.

b.) Download speed of 10000 bytes per second.

Recall: 1 kB (kiloByte) = 1,000 bytes

Step 1: Let's first convert bytes into kB.

`\text{ 10,000 bytes x }\frac{\text{ 1 kB}}{\text{ 1,000 bytes}}\text{ = }\frac{\text{ 10,000 }}{\text{ 1,000}}\text{ kB}`
`=\text{ 10 kB}`

Step 2: Let's now determine how long it'll take to download 410 kB of file.

`\text{ 410 kB }/\text{ 10,000 bytes/second = 410 (kB) }/\text{ 10 (kB)/second}`
`\frac{\text{ 410 }}{\text{ 10}}\text{ second}`
`\text{ = 41 seconds}`

Therefore, it'll take 41 seconds to download a 410 kB file at a speed of 10,000 bytes per second.
