Final answer:

To solve the formula V = IR for resistance R, you divide both sides by current I to get R = V / I, which expresses R in terms of V and I.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student asked to solve the formula V = IR for R, which represents resistance. According to Ohm's law, V is the voltage, I is the current, and R is the resistance. To solve for R, we rearrange the formula as follows:

  1. Start with the equation V = IR.
  2. Divide both sides by I to get R by itself:

R = V / I

Now we have expressed resistance R in terms of voltage V and current I.
