In the following problems, you will compare code written using the ARM and MIPS instruction sets. The following table shows code written in the ARM instruction set.

Assuming that the average CPI of the MIPS assembly routine is the same as the average CPI of the ARM assembly routine, and the MIPS processor has an operation frequency that is 1.5 times that of the ARM processor, how much faster is the ARM processor than the MIPS processor?
