Question 179072: I greatly need your help. In trying to solve the problem. I found out that the hits are 25,000x24+110,000=710,000 hits. I'm having a hard time trying to set th prblem up as a proportions. Will you please help.
An administrator of a popular web site is told that a new faster server, which will replace the old server, can handle 45,000 "hits" (users accessing the site) per second. The web site currently experiences a peak demand of about 110,000 hits per second. But, every month, the peak demand increases by 2500 hits per second. Use a proportion equation to determine how many new servers the administrator should buy to address expected traffic for the next 24 months.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! An administrator of a popular web site is told that a new faster server, which will replace the old server, can handle 45,000 "hits" (users accessing the site) per second. The web site currently experiences a peak demand of about 110,000 hits per second. But, every month, the peak demand increases by 2500 hits per second. Use a proportion equation to determine how many new servers the administrator should buy to address expected traffic for the next 24 months.
-------------------------------------------
In 24 months the peak demand will be 110,000+2500*24 = 170,000
x/170,000 = 1/45000
x = 170/45
x = 3.777777
----------------
They will need 4 of the new servers.
