Your
pages should not be larger than 100 KB.
The connection speed and the file size must be converted to a common unit of measure for division: either bytes or bits. Remember that
1 byte equals 8 bits. The connection speed is already defined in bits: 56 kilobits = 56,000 bits. To convert the file size to bits, you should first convert it to bytes (84 kilobytes = 84,000 bytes). Then convert the bytes to bits by multiplying 84,000 by 8 (1 byte= 8 bits), which results in 672,000 bits.
Divide the file size (672,000 bits) by the connection speed (56,000 bits per second). The bits cancel out, and the result is 12 seconds. This is the amount of time it will theoretically take to download the web page.
Consider certain factors, such as the fact that 56-Kpbs modems rarely operate above 50 Kbps. Consider network overhead, noisy phone lines, or network congestion. |
