Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing you have to do is go back and list the resistances correctly. R1 = 20 R2 = 30 and R3 = 10.

Leave the units off if you can't make an omega.

The resistance of a series circuit (that's what this is) is r1 + r2 + r3 = 10 + 20 + 30 = 60 ohms

Now use ohms law.

R = 60 ohms

V = 110 volts.

I = V / R

I = 110/60

I = 1.833 to the nearest 1/10 = 1.8
