Question:

The picture was taken during the descent of the Shoemaker spacecraft. Once on the surface, the spacecraft continued to function even though it had not been designed to make a landing. Data was transmitted back to Earth at a rate of 10 bits per second. How long would it have taken to transmit the data for the image above (the image consists of 398 × 303 pixels at 8 bits per pixel)?

Thanx for your help!
