Question

If the bandwidth of the channel is 5 Kbps, how long does it take to send a frame of 100,000 bits out of this device?

Answer 1

Given,

The bandwidth of the channel = 5 Kbps

To Find,

Time taken to send a frame of 100000 bits.

Solution,

Bandwidth is defined as the maximum amount of data transmitted over an internet connection in a given amount of time.

The bandwidth of the channel is 5 Kbps

5 Kbps = 5*1000 = 5000 bps.

Now, the time taken to send the frame is

Time taken to send the frame = 100000/5000

Time taken to send the frame = 100/5 = 20 seconds.

Hence, the time taken to send the frame of 100000 bits is 20 seconds.
