bits per minute to Megabytes per hour conversion

How to convert bits per minute to megabytes per hour?

To convert bits per minute (bpm) to Megabytes per hour (MB/h), you need to follow these steps:

Step-by-Step Conversion

1. Convert bits per minute (bpm) to bits per hour (bph):

   • There are 60 minutes in an hour.

   • Therefore, multiply the bits per minute (1 bpm) by 60 to get bits per hour.

     $1 \text{ bpm} \times 60 = 60 \text{ bits per hour}$

2. Convert bits per hour (bph) to bytes per hour:

   • There are 8 bits in a byte.

   • Therefore, divide the bits per hour by 8 to get bytes per hour.

     $60 \text{ bits per hour} \div 8 = 7.5 \text{ bytes per hour}$

3. Convert bytes per hour to Megabytes per hour:

   • In computing, there are two different standards for defining a megabyte: base 10 (decimal) and base 2 (binary).

Base 10 (Decimal):

• 1 Megabyte (MB) = 1,000,000 bytes.

  Therefore,

  $7.5 \text{ bytes per hour} \div 1,000,000 = 0.0000075 \text{ MB/h}$

Base 2 (Binary):

• 1 Megabyte (MiB) = 1,048,576 bytes.

  Therefore,

  $7.5 \text{ bytes per hour} \div 1,048,576 = 0.00000715255737 \text{ MiB/h}$

Real World Examples for Other Bits per Minute

Let's look at some practical examples:

Example 1: 1000 bits per minute

1. Convert to bits per hour:

   $1000 \text{ bpm} \times 60 = 60,000 \text{ bits per hour}$

2. Convert to bytes per hour:

   $60,000 \text{ bph} \div 8 = 7,500 \text{ bytes per hour}$

3. Convert to Megabytes per hour:

   • Base 10:

     $7,500 \text{ bytes per hour} \div 1,000,000 = 0.0075 \text{ MB/h}$

   • Base 2:

     $7,500 \text{ bytes per hour} \div 1,048,576 = 0.00715255737 \text{ MiB/h}$

Example 2: 60,000 bits per minute (which is 1 kilobit per second)

1. Convert to bits per hour:

   $60,000 \text{ bpm} \times 60 = 3,600,000 \text{ bits per hour}$

2. Convert to bytes per hour:

   $3,600,000 \text{ bph} \div 8 = 450,000 \text{ bytes per hour}$

3. Convert to Megabytes per hour:

   • Base 10:

     $450,000 \text{ bytes per hour} \div 1,000,000 = 0.45 \text{ MB/h}$

   • Base 2:

     $450,000 \text{ bytes per hour} \div 1,048,576 = 0.429153442 \text{ MiB/h}$

By following these steps, you can convert any rate from bits per minute to Megabytes per hour, and you can compare the quantities in both decimal and binary standards.
