| A 2 MB file is transferred over a connection in 80 seconds. Determine the file size (in Kbytes) that can be transferred over the same connection in 120 seconds.
Size of the transferred file = transfer time · transfer rate. Note that the transmission time in the second case is 120/80 = 1.5 times the time in the first case. Since the file transfer rate is the same, the file size that can be transferred in the second case is also 1.5 times larger. It will be equal to 1.5 * 2048 = 3072 KB.
