Solve.
-The current I in an electrical conductor varies inversely as the resistance R of the conductor. The current is 6 amperes when the resistance is 646 ohms. What is the current when the resistance is 884 ohms? Round to the
Nearest hundredths when necessary.
A) 0.23 amperes
B) 0.12 amperes
C) 8.21 amperes
D) 4.38 amperes

The relationship is I = k/R, where k is a constant. Given I = 6 when R = 646, k = 6 * 646 = 3876. For R = 884, I = 3876 / 884 ≈ 4.38 amperes.
