                You do not need to know Math to answer so simple question.

                Having a bit of common sense id just enough.


Probably,  you know that 1 hour is  3600  seconds.

Every second,  your computer gets  2  megabytes of info per second from the otside.

Hence,  in one hour,  the computer will get  3600  times  2  megabytes of info.

So,  all you need is to multiply  2  megabytes by  3600.

By doing it,  you will get  2*3600 = 7200  megabytes per hour.


That is all --- you just got the answer.
