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 (p) to bytes of information (b) that is given by b = 1,500p.How much information could be transmitted in 30,000 packets?

Answer 1

45,000,00 bytes

Explanation:

let be p = number of packets = 30,000

The equation for calculating bytes of information (b) is

b = 1500p

replacing p

b = 1500*30000

b = 45,000,000
