Two resistors with resistances of 5.0  and 9.0  are connected in parallel. A 4.0- resistor is then connected in series with this parallel combination.
 
  An ideal 6.0-V battery is then connected across the series-parallel combination. What is the current through (a) the 4.0- resistor and (b) the 5.0- resistor?
