Question

If a computer can perform a calculation in 0.0000000009 seconds, how long will it take to perform

41,000,000,000,000 calculations?
...

Answer 1

If each calculation stays the same, at 0.0000000009 seconds every calculation, you can use this equation:

• 41,000,000,000,000 × 0.0000000009 = 36900

Therefore, for the computer to perform 41,000,000,000,000 calculations with each calculation taking 0.0000000009 seconds, it will take the computer 36900 seconds, or 10 hours, 8 minutes and 20 seconds to complete.
