I need some math help, please.?

Rp=R (over) n

What does this mean. I have NO clue. Studying for test and have no one to turn to. Any help would be appreciated. Feel free to click on avatar to email me.

(and on that note, ANY "snide" comments WILL be reported.

Thank you for your time and may God bless.

Update:

I have no idea just what these letters are suppose to stand for. The question reads as follows, quoted from the test questionnaire that I have:

The circuit in Figure 2-2 shows the resistors r (small #2) and R (small #3) connected in parallel, but resistor R (small#1) is in series with both the battery and the parallel combination of R (small#2) and R (small#3). What is the total resistance or R (small#2) and R(small#3)?

    what are you trying to solve for R? p? n?

    Rp = R/n

    Rnp = R

    Rnp - R = 0

    R(np - 1) = 0

    R = 0

    Rnp = R

    n = R / Rp

    n = 1/p

    Rnp = R

    p = R/Rn

    p = 1/n
