Answer: 1766.667 Ω = 1.767kΩ

Step-by-step explanation:

V=iR

where V is voltage in Volts (V), i is current in Amps (A), and R is resistance in Ohms(Ω).

3mA = 0.003 A

Rearranging the equation, we get

R=V/i

Now we are solving for resistance. Plug in 0.003 A and 5.3 V.

R = 5.3 / 0.003

= 1766.6667 Ω

= 1.7666667 kΩ

The 6s are repeating so round off to whichever value you need for exactness.
