The speed is 50 gigabytes per second. And the size of the data is 10 terabytes. We start by converting terabytes into gigabytes, As one terabyte is equal to 10310^{3} gigabytes So,

10 terabytes=104 gigabytes10 \text{ terabytes} =10^{4} \text{ gigabytes}

According to the above information, the time taken to copy this data is,

10450=10×1035×101\frac{10^{4}}{50}=\frac{10 \times 10^{3}}{5 \times 10^{1}}
