Response Details:

The clock period is 1.0 divided by the clock frequency. In other words, the

clock period T = (1 ÷ f) where f is the clock frequency. The clock period in this problem

is T = 1.0 ÷ (3.0 x 109) = 3.33 x 10-10  seconds/10-12
 
= 333 picoseconds.
Hope this helps!  Please take the time to rate my answer accordingly.  Thanks!

T=1/f=1/(3,0*10^9)= 3,3 ns
ns stands for nano seconds.
