Homework question, see attached. I solved but not sure its correct. 

A clothes washer rated at 484 watts is plugged into a 110 volt line. What is the resistance of the washer in this circuit? [Round to 0.1 if applicable] 

 

 

 

The image contains a handwritten mathematical expression and calculation:

1. The expression starts with a problem number: "3."
2. The formula given is: \( V = \frac{I \cdot R}{R} \).
3. Below the formula, a calculation is shown: 
   \( \frac{110}{484} = 0.23 \, \Omega \).

This appears to be a simplification of Ohm's Law, where \( V \) is voltage, \( I \) is current, and \( R \) is resistance. The calculation resolves to determine resistance in ohms.
