Answer / david tilley

The straight maths answer is: Ti = Fs/Sp
Where:
Ti...Time
Fs..FileSize
Sp..Speed

a) Ti = 10,000 / 28,000
= 357ms
b) Ti = 10,000/ 28,000,000
= 357uS

However.... In practice transfer times would be longer than
this depending on the overhead added to handle error
checking/recovery.
