So my teacher gave us this problem and the answer, but didn't go over how to get the answer. I have no idea where to even start. Help?

Oops sorry. He gave it to us right as the bell rang so I didn't get it down. But I believe it was .2 ?

Finding the current in a resistor


Do you know how resistances add in series?

Do you know how resistances add in parallel?
