Choice B is correct. The tracking station can receive 118,800 megabits each day 

which is about 116 gigabits each day 

If each image is 11.2 gigabits, then the number of images that can be received each day is 

Since the question asks for the maximum number of typical images, rounding the answer down to 10 is appropriate because the tracking station will not receive a completed 11th image in one day.

Choice A is not the correct answer. The student may not have synthesized all of the information. This answer may result from multiplying 3 (rate in megabits per second) by 11 (hours receiving) and dividing by 11.2 (size of image in gigabits), neglecting to convert 3 megabits per second into megabits per hour and to utilize the information about 1 gigabit equaling 1,024 megabits.

Choice C is not the correct answer. The student may not have synthesized all of the information. This answer may result from converting the number of gigabits in an image to megabits (11,470), multiplying by the rate of 3 megabits per second (34,410), and then converting 11 hours into minutes (660) instead of seconds.

Choice D is not the correct answer. The student may not have synthesized all of the information. This answer may result from converting 11 hours into seconds (39,600), then dividing the result by 3 gigabits converted into megabits (3,072), and multiplying by the size of one typical image.
