To calculate the data rate given a file consisting of 50,000 characters takes 40 seconds to send, you use the formula: data rate = total data transmitted / time it takes to send the data.
First, it’s important to understand what is meant by “characters” in terms of data size. Usually, in computing, a character is considered to be 1 byte, but this can vary depending on the encoding (for example, ASCII uses 1 byte per character, but Unicode characters can use more). For this calculation, we’ll assume 1 character = 1 byte.
Given:
– 50,000 characters = 50,000 bytes
– Transmission time = 40 seconds
The data rate is: 50,000 bytes / 40 seconds = 1,250 bytes per second.
Therefore, the data rate is 1,250 bytes per second.
