| A 15KB file is transferred over a connection in 60 seconds. Determine how many seconds it takes to transfer the same file over a connection that is 2048 bps faster.
Size of the transferred file = transfer time · transfer rate. The file transfer rate in the first case is 15360/60 = 256 bytes / sec. The transfer rate in the second case is 2048 bits = 256 bytes per second more than in the first, therefore, the original file can be transferred in 15360/512 = 30.
