Chapter 2.5, Problem 3QE

Explanation of Solution

Time required transferring the $300$ page novel:

• The number of pages in the novel is $300$. These pages are encoded in $16$ bit Unicode characters, with a transfer rate of $54$ Mbps.

The $300$ page novel represented in Unicode consists of about $2\text{MB}$ or $16,000,000\text{bits}$.

The formula to calculate time to transfer the data is,

$\text{t}=\frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}}$

As 1 Byte corresponds to 8 bit. Similarly, 2 Bytes are equal to 16 bit
