Answer: The speed was 4.1 MB/sec.

We first find the amount that was transferred within the first 125 seconds:

549-36.5=512.5

Now we divide this by 125, the number of seconds:

512.5/125 = 4.1

The speed of the transfer is 4.1 megabytes per second.

It took 235 seconds for the drive to be completely filled.
