Problem
When the World Wide Web first became popular in the 
s, download speeds reached a maximum of about 
kilobits per second. Approximately how many minutes would the download of a 
-megabyte song have taken at that speed? (Note that there are 
kilobits in a megabyte.)
Solution 1
Notice that the number of kilobits in this song is 
We must divide this by in order to find out how many seconds this song would take to download: 
Finally, we divide this number by 
because this is the number of seconds to get the answer 
~wamofan
Solution 2
We seek a value of 
that makes the following equation true, since every other quantity equals 
.
![\[\frac{x\ \text{min}}{4.2\ \text{mb}} \cdot \frac{56\ \text{kb}}{1\ \text{sec}} \cdot \frac{1\ \text{mb}}{8000\ \text{kb}} \cdot \frac{60\ \text{sec}}{1\ \text{min}} = 1.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/c/4/3/c4376075d7f61a88fc6bffbf587ddde57260792b.png)
Solving yields
