What is the ratio of option A option A 4 seconds 14 megabytes and 2 seconds 7 megabytes A 8 Megabytes for every 3 seconds B 7 megabytes for every 2 seconds C 14 Megabytes for every 2 seconds D 2 megabytes for every 7 seconds

1 answer

To find the ratios of the different options given, we can express each option in terms of megabytes per second.

  1. Option A:
    • 4 seconds, 14 megabytes \[ \text{Rate} = \frac{14 \text{ MB}}{4 \text{ sec}} = 3.5 \text{ MB/sec} \]

    • 2 seconds, 7 megabytes \[ \text{Rate} = \frac{7 \text{ MB}}{2 \text{ sec}} = 3.5 \text{ MB/sec} \]

    • 8 megabytes for every 3 seconds: \[ \text{Rate} = \frac{8 \text{ MB}}{3 \text{ sec}} \approx 2.67 \text{ MB/sec} \]

    • 7 megabytes for every 2 seconds: \[ \text{Rate} = \frac{7 \text{ MB}}{2 \text{ sec}} = 3.5 \text{ MB/sec} \]

    • 14 megabytes for every 2 seconds: \[ \text{Rate} = \frac{14 \text{ MB}}{2 \text{ sec}} = 7 \text{ MB/sec} \]

    • 2 megabytes for every 7 seconds: \[ \text{Rate} = \frac{2 \text{ MB}}{7 \text{ sec}} \approx 0.29 \text{ MB/sec} \]

Now we can summarize:

  • Option A: 3.5 MB/sec
  • Option B: 3.5 MB/sec
  • Option C: 7 MB/sec
  • Option D: 0.29 MB/sec

From the calculations, we can see that:

  • Options A and B have the same rate of 3.5 MB/sec,
  • Option C has the highest rate of 7 MB/sec,
  • Option D has the lowest rate at approximately 0.29 MB/sec.

If you're looking for the best option based on speed or capacity per time, option C (14 megabytes for every 2 seconds) is the highest.
