Question

Suzy transferred some files from Mason's laptop for her school project into her flash drive. The drive had 25 megabytes on it before the transfer, and the transfer happened at a constant rate. After 100 seconds, there were 500 megabytes on the drive.
What was the speed of the transfer of megabytes per sec

Answer 1

Answer: 5 megabytes per second

Step-by-step explanation:

Capacity of Suzy drive = 25 megabytes Time taken for file transfer = 100 seconds

Volume of file transferred = 500 megabytes megabytes

The speed of the transfer in megabytes per second = (Volume of file transferred / Time taken for file transfer)

i.e 500 megabytes / 100 seconds

= 5 megabytes per second

Thus, Suzy's transfer to her flash drive was at a rate of 5 megabytes per second
