Total resistance and fractions.

[Nuklear]

I'm trying to understand how fractions relate in total resistance. You have parrell circuits. Each one has a 2 ohm resistor on it. FOr if you go by the law
1/total resistance = N/sum of resistances. SO that gives us 1/total=2/1

It we make the 2 a 1 that means the 1 becomes 1/2. SO that means Total=1/1/2. But I did and equation and the total should equal 2. SO do I just avoind the 1 and put 2 or do I include it in 1/2?

Whew baby. I moved this to the homework forums. Let me think about an answer...

Tell you what, Nuklear, repost this question in the homework forum using the Homework forums posting template, and I'll take care of the cleaning up the duplicate post.
