Question 334198: Hello!
This one has been giving me a hard time and couldn't figure it out. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance...
Solve the problem:
The current, in ampheres, for a piece of wire with an electromotive force of 88 volts, is given by the function C(r)=88/r, where r is the resistance of the wire in ohms. What is the current, rounded to the nearest hundredth of an ampere, if the wire has a resistance of 15 ohms?
Thank you!

I is used for amperes.
I = 88/r = 88/15
I =~ 5.87 amps
