Question

13 POINT!!! Agent Hunt transferred classified files from the CIA mainframe onto his flash drive. The drive had some files on it before the transfer, and the transfer happened at a rate of 4.4 megabytes per second. After 32 seconds, there were 384 megabytes on the drive. The drive had a maximum capacity of 1000 megabytes.

How full was the drive when the transfer began?


How long from the time that Agent Hunt started the transfer did it take the drive to be completely full?

Thanks,...!

Answer 1

Explanation:

Rate of transfer = 4.4 megabyte per second

Capacity of the files transferred after 32 seconds = 4.4 *32 = 140.8 megabytes.

384 - 140.8 = 243.2 megabytes was there in the drive when the transfer began.

1000 - 384 = 616 megabytes

Time taken to transfer 616 megabytes =
`616*(1)/(4.4)= 140 \ seconds` = 2 minutes 20 seconds.

Total time taken = 32 + 140 = 172 seconds
