Answer:

The total weight of the file was 64 mb.

Explanation:

Given that Rachel downloaded a movie at a constant speed, and after she downloaded 40% of the movie, the remaining download time was 40 seconds, while after she downloaded 40 mb, the remaining download time was 16 seconds, to determine the total size of the movie rounded to the nearest mb, the following calculation must be performed:

100 - 40 = 60

60% = 40 seconds

40 mb = 16 seconds left

16/40 = 4/10

60/40 = 1.5

1.5% for every 1 second of download.

16 x 1.5 = 24

40 + 24 = 64

Thus, the total weight of the file was 64 mb.
