Question
It takes 4.0 minutes to record a song on a $\mathrm{CD}$ at a rate of 44100 words per second. A word has a length of 32 bits. How many bytes does the song take?
Step 1
Since the song takes 4.0 minutes to record, and there are 60 seconds in a minute, the total recording time in seconds is: \[ 4.0 \text{ minutes} \times 60 \text{ seconds/minute} = 240 \text{ seconds} \] Show more…
