Question

To transmit information on the internet, large files are broken into packets of smaller sizes. Each packet has 1,500 bytes of information. An equation relating packets to bytes of information is given by b = 1,500p where p represents the number of packets and b represents the number of bytes of information. Each byte contains 8 bits of information. Write an equation to represent the relationship between the number of packets and the number of bits. (X = form)

Answer 2

Answer:
`x= 187.5p`

Explanation:

Given : An equation relating packets to bytes of information :
`b = 1,500p` where p represents the number of packets and b represents the number of bytes of information.

1 byte = 8 bits

Let x= Number of bits such that 1 b = 8x

Put b = 8x in given equation , we get

`8x=1500p`

Divide both sides by 8 , we get

`x= 187.5p`

Hence, the equation represent the relationship between the number of packets and the number of bits :
`x= 187.5p`
