An 8 bit processor can transmit one letter at a time. In the ASCII code, each of the first 127 combinations of bits has a special standard meaning. The last 127 is given a special meaning. So an an 8 bit processor can transmit 256 bits at a time. An A is 65 bits.

A 16 bit processor can transmit two letters at a time. A B is 66 bits. An E is 69 bits. It can transmit a B and an E. By definition that is considered a word. A difference exists between the way computer people use the language and normal people use it.

Actually, a piece of equipment called a bus attached to the processor does the actual transmitting.

How many bits are in 1000Mbps?

It has been offered that: "8000000000 bits are there in 1000Mbps." However, this is not correct. Each M is 1,000,000 bits, so 1,000 M is 1,000 x 1,000,000 or 1,000,000,000 bits per second. Be careful if talking about MBytes of memory, which is 8 times as many bits. Thus, to transmit 1MB of memory at 1 Mbps would take at least 8 seconds (not including protocol overhead and errors requiring retransmission).


How many minutes would take to transmit 512512 image with 256 gray levels at 300 baud?

512x512x1 (256 = 2^8 = 1byte) * 8 (convert to bits) / 300 bits per second = 6990.50(6) seconds.

How many bits can carry a bus with 16 lines a 2 b 4 c 8 d 16?

A bus with 16 lines can carry 16 bits of data, as each line can transmit one bit. Therefore, the correct answer is d) 16.


How many minutes would it take to transmit a 512 512 image with 256 gray levels at 300 baud?

The total amount of data (including the start and stop bit) in an 8-bit, 1024× 1024 image, is (1024)2×[8+2] bits. The total time required to transmit this image over a 56K baud link is (512)^2 ×[8+2]/300 =8738.1 sec or about 145.6 min.


Where does it tell you how many words you have written in an essay?

Some word processors have a word counter. Some have it in a bar at the bottom of the workspace.


32bits words equals to how many byes?

A 32-bit word equals 4 bytes, since there are 8 bits in a byte. Therefore, to convert bits to bytes, you divide the number of bits by 8. So, 32 bits divided by 8 gives you 4 bytes.
