What is relation among txload/rxload, 5 minute input/output rate and BW?

Hi What is relation among txload/rxload, 5 minute input/output rate and BW? Please see the below highlighted with bold.  We can see txload 47/255 = 18.4%, which is almost equal to 5 minute input rate 1856000 bit/sec. Do you agree on this? And do you think there is any relation with BW 10000 Kbit? If the interface is 10000 Kbit, 18.4% x 10000 = 18400 Kbit /sec. the value 18400Kbit/sec is ten times higher than 5 minute rate 1856000 bit/sec. Any one can explain this? Thank you

For 18.4% (.184) of 10,000, I get 1,840 Kbps, not 18,400 Kbps.
