Need help with this math question and need to show work. A computer transmits 11 web pages in 4 seconds to a web server. A second commputer transmit 33 pages in 8 seconds to the server. are these two computers transmitting at the same speed. Yes or no and how?
Sorry posted wrong question. I have already computed the answer to this question.
11/4 = 2.75 pp per second
33/8 = 4.125 pp per second
To determine if the two computers are transmitting at the same speed, we need to compare the rates at which they are transmitting web pages.
The rate of transmission can be calculated by dividing the number of web pages transmitted by the time taken to transmit them.
For the first computer:
Number of web pages transmitted = 11
Time taken to transmit = 4 seconds
Rate of transmission for the first computer = Number of web pages transmitted / Time taken to transmit
= 11 / 4
= 2.75 web pages per second
For the second computer:
Number of web pages transmitted = 33
Time taken to transmit = 8 seconds
Rate of transmission for the second computer = Number of web pages transmitted / Time taken to transmit
= 33 / 8
= 4.125 web pages per second
Now, comparing the rates of transmission, we can see that the first computer is transmitting at a rate of 2.75 web pages per second, and the second computer is transmitting at a rate of 4.125 web pages per second.
Since the rates of transmission are different, the two computers are not transmitting at the same speed.
