| A 60KB file is transferred over some connection at 4096 bits per second. Determine how many seconds slower you can transfer the same file over another connection at a speed of 1024 bits per second.
Let’s determine the time of file transfer through the first connection:
60 KB / 4096 bits per second = 1024 *8* 60/4096 = 120 seconds.
Let’s determine the time of transfer of the file through the second connection:
60 KB / 1024 bits per second = 1024* 8 *60/1024 = 60 *8 = 480 seconds.
Thus, the transfer of the same file over the second connection is 480 – 120 = 360 seconds slower.
