Question
Amanda is going to subscribe to a provider (ISP) to connect her devices to the Internet. Which of the following options offered by the ISP has a higher speed?3G at 512 kb/sDial-up at 56000 b/sCable at 0.020 Gb/sADSL at 10 Mb/sNavigation Bar
Solution
To compare the speeds, we first need to convert all speeds to the same unit. Here, we'll convert everything to kilobits per second (kb/s).
- 3G at 512 kb/s is already in kb/s, so no conversion is needed.
- Dial-up at 56000 b/s (bits per second). Since 1 kb = 1000 bits, we convert this to 56 kb/s.
- Cable at 0.020 Gb/s (Gigabits per second). Since 1 Gb = 1,000,000 kb, we convert this to 20,000 kb/s.
- ADSL at 10 Mb/s (Megabits per second). Since 1 Mb = 1000 kb, we convert this to 10,000 kb/s.
Comparing these speeds, we find that the Cable connection at 20,000 kb/s is the fastest option.
