A compressed high resolution chest xray image requires about 8MB of data. most GP surgeries are connected to the NHS network at a speed of 100Mbps. how long would it take to download a set of 6 images. give your answer to second to 2 decimal places using scientific notation. I know the answer is 3.84 seconds, but how is it expressed in to two decimal places and scientific notation?

Is it 3.84*10^1? Please help.

To calculate the time taken to download a set of 6 images, we need to consider the size of each image and the network speed.

The total size of the 6 images is:
6 images * 8MB/image = 48MB

To convert this to bits, we multiply by 8:
48MB * 8 = 384Mb (megabits)

The network speed is given as 100Mbps (megabits per second).

To find the time, we divide the total size by the network speed:
384Mb / 100Mbps = 3.84 seconds

To express this answer in scientific notation with two decimal places, we use the following format:

3.84 seconds can be written as 3.84 * 10^0

Since we want two decimal places, we move the decimal point two places to the right:
3.84 * 10^0 = 3.84 * 10^2 (because we moved the decimal point two places to the right)

Therefore, the correct representation in scientific notation with two decimal places is 3.84 * 10^2 seconds.
