As we saw
in class, the smallest unit is the bit (b). 8 b = 1
byte (B).
Multipliers:
1 024 B = 1 kB
1 024 kB =
1 MB
1 024 MB =
1 GB
1 024 GB
= 1 TB
(for quick
calculations we can use 1 000 instead of 1 024)
Solve the
following problem:
Calculate
the time (in hours) that will take to download a 7.2 GB file if we are using a line
with a 8 Mbps speed. Simplify the calculations using 1 000 as multiplier.
Important:
write all the operations needed to get the final result.
