If the transport speed for a magnetic tape is 200 inches per second and the density is 1600 bpi, a total of ____ bytes can be transferred in one second.
A) 3,200
B) 32,000
C) 320,000
D) 3,200,000

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the total number of bytes transferred in one second, we need to multiply the transport speed in inches per second by the density in bits per inch and then divide by 8 to convert from bits to bytes:

200 in/s x 1600 bpi / 8 = 40,000 bytes per second

Therefore, the best choice is C, which is the closest option to 40,000 (320,000).
