300MB is ~300,000KB.
6 hours is 360 minutes is 21600 seconds.
300,000KB over 21600 seconds is 13.889kb/s

300MB is equal to 8×300=2400mb MB= megabytes and mb= megabits

2400mb/120kb/s=20,000sec

3600sec/hr

20,000sec/3600sec/hr=5.5 hours

so your six hours allows an extra one half hour for goof ups.

to change MB to mb you have to multiply by 8
there are eight bits in a byte.
Computers use bits and bits make up bytes.
And so many bytes makes up a computer word.(2)

And don’t forget a nibble (4 bits) or a half word (16 bits)

words are variable early computers were 8 bit.
then 16 bit and 32 and now 64 bit words.
