Answer to Question #165165 in Math for bree

Question

A computer program in Shannon’s computer carries out a single mathematical operation in 1.5 × 10^-6 seconds. How much time would the program take to complete 2.5 × 10³ mathematical operations?

Answer 1

$$(1.5\times10^{-6})(2.5\times10^3)=3.75\times10^{-3}(s)$$

The program would take $3.75\times10^{-3}$ seconds ($3.75$ milliseconds) to complete $2.5\times10^3$ mathematical operations.
