Answer:

$11.3 \Omega$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the resistance of the wire by using Ohm's law:

V=RI

where

V is the voltage applied

R is the resistance

I is the current

In this problem, we know I = 6 A and V = 68 V, so we can re-arrange the equation to find the resistance of the wire:

$R=(V)/(I)=(68 V)/(6 A)=11.3 \Omega$
