The exact conversion ratio — 0.001 — anchored to SI definitions, not rounded

1. 01Look up the SI factors: 1 kilobyte per second = 8000 base units, 1 megabyte per second = 8000000 base units.
2. 02Divide to get the conversion ratio: 8000 / 8000000 = 0.001.
3. 03Multiply by the quantity: 5 × 0.001 = 0.005.
4. 04So 5 kilobyte per seconds = 0.005 megabyte per seconds.
