To calculate how many additions a computer can do in 1 second, we need to convert the time it takes for one addition into seconds and then use that to find the number of additions in 1 second.
Given: Time for one addition = 50 nanoseconds
1 nanosecond (ns) is equal to 1/1,000,000,000 seconds (1 billionth of a second).
So, 50 nanoseconds = 50/1,000,000,000 seconds
Now, we want to find how many additions can be done in 1 second, which is 1,000,000,000 nanoseconds.
Number of additions in 1 second = (Time in 1 second) / (Time for one addition)
Number of additions in 1 second = (1,000,000,000 ns) / (50 ns)
Number of additions in 1 second = 20,000,000,000
So, the computer can do 20 billion additions in 1 second.
