Question

HELP PLEASE???? Jayla has a USB stick that transfers data at 2.4 x 109 bytes per second. Her modem transfers data at 1.2 x 107 bytes per second. Which statement is true?

Answer 1

Answer:

The transfer rate of USB is 200 times the transfer rate of Modem

Step-by-step explanation:

Jayla has a USB stick that transfers data at 2.4 x 10^9 bytes per second. Her modem transfers data at 1.2 x 10^7 bytes per second.

To compare the transfer rate we divide the transfer rate of USB by modem

$\frac{2.4*10^9}{1.2*10^7}$

2.4 divide by 1.2 is 2

10^9 divide by 10^7 = 10^2

So its 2* 10^2 = 200

The transfer rate of USB is 200 times the transfer rate of Modem

Answer 2

Answer C.

The USB stick has a transfer rata of 200 times faster than the modem.

1.2×10^7 = 12000000
2.4×10^9 = 2400000000

2400000000/12000000 = 200.
