Question

Javed downloaded from the Internet two files that had a combined size of 696 megabytes. The size of the first file was 290 megabytes, and it took 5 minutes to download. Assuming that the files downloaded at a constant speed, how long did it take for the second file to download?

Answer 1

7 minutes

Explanation:

The computation of the time taken for downloading the second file is given below:

Given that

The combined size for both files is 696 megabyres

And, the size of the first file is 290 megabytes

So, the size of the second file is

= 696 - 290

= 406

Now for the first file it took 5 minutes to download

So for the second file, it would took

= 406 × 5 minutes ÷ 290

= 7 minutes

Answer 2

7 minutes
