Gerson is going to buy a new computer to use for his new job and also to download movies. He has to decide between two different computers. How many more kilobytes does the faster computer download in one second?

Choice 1: The rate of download is represented by the following equation: k = 153t, where tt represents the amount of time in seconds, and kk represents the number of kilobytes.

Choice 2: The rate of download is represented by the following equation: k = 150t, where tt represents the amount of time in seconds, and kk represents the number of kilobytes.

Carley Ballard · Answer 1

choice 1 is 3 kilobytes per second more faster than than the choice 2

Step-by-step explanation:

in choice 1)

rate of download k = 153t where k and t are number of kilobytes and time in sec respectively.

k = 153*1 = 153 kilobytes per second

where as in choice 2

k = 150t = 150*1 = 150kilobytes per second

hence, the first choice computer has the higher speed than the choice 2 which is 3 kilobytes per second
