Answer:

Rt = 908.25 [ohm]

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must remember that the resistors connected in series are added up arithmetically.

In this case, R2 and R3 are in series therefore.

R₂₃ = 200 + 470

R₂₃ = 670 [ohm]

Now this new resistor (R₂₃) is connected in parallel with the resistor R4. therefore we must use the following arithmetic expression, to add resistances in parallel.


(1)/(R_(4-23) )= (1)/(R_(4))+(1)/(R_(23) ) \\(1)/(R_(4-23) )=(1)/(1800)+(1)/(670) \\R_(4-23)=488.25[ohm]

In this way R₁, R₅ and R₄₋₂₃ are connected in series.

Rt = R₁ + R₅ + R₄₋₂₃

Rt = 150 + 270 + 488.25

Rt = 908.25 [ohm]
