a k-factor of 0.29
I C Step a:Use formula above to convert specification to R-value:
R =� x = x1,25= 1.49

A 0.29 Rmo-ieran,,arr. = x 0.25 = 0.431
R,.t�i= Rr;, + R7,F«rar = 0.8 + 0.431 = 1.66
C _ Step c: Compare proposed system Rtotal of 1.66 to specified
R of 1.49. Since proposed system Rtotal is greater than
