Answer

Time for 10 Mbps speed = $9.25$ days Time for 1 Gbps speed = $2.2$ hours

Work Step by Step

Time = $\frac{data\space size}{speed}$ For 10 Mbps Time = $\frac{10^6\text{ MB}}{\frac{10}{8}\text{ MB/s}}=8000000$ s Time = 800000 seconds Convert to days: $\frac{800000}{60\cdot 60\cdot 24}\approx 9.25$ days For 1 Gbps Time = $\frac{10^6\text{ MB}}{\frac{10000}{8}\text{ MB/s}}=8000$ s Time = 8000 seconds Convert to hours: $\frac{8000}{60\cdot 60}\approx 2.2$ hours
