Question

1. The speed of a computer can be expressed in MIPS (million instructions per second). A

computer unit used for a satellite movie channel can, on average, process about 650 MIPS. The
human brain, in comparison, has a processing power equivalent to 100 million MIPS. About
how many satellite movie channel computer units are equivalent to the processing power of the
human brain?

Answer 1

153,847

Explanation:

This is asking how many computers does it take to equal the brain. So you just have to divide the brain power by the computer power. 100,000,000/650=153,846.1538. Since there is a decimal you round up 1 because computers have to be whole.
