There is a mistake on where it gives the total R = 625. It should be .625 Ohms.
Thanks. The pase was very helpfull.

The page is correct as is.

I suspect you are missing the KΩ designations, .625KΩ = 625Ω

 

I agree with Bill that the value is correct at 625 Ohms. It would be 0.625 if the units for the value were expressed as Kilo-ohms.

Hi dryr,

Thanks for the feedback. As Bill and hgmjr say, the answer is correct as given - note the units on the left of the table state it is in Ohms.

To confirm this use the resistance values in the following equation for the total resistance:
