A Concrete Wall Is 15 $^{\circ}$ C and the Coefficient of Thermal Conductivity of Wood Is

A concrete wall is 15.0 cm thick and has an area of 10.0 m².A layer of wood that is 2.50 cm thick is placed over the wall to reduce the loss of heat by thermal conduction.The coefficient thermal conductivity of concrete is 1.70 W/m $^{\circ}$ C and the coefficient of thermal conductivity of wood is 0.0400 W/m $^{\circ}$ C.What is the effective coefficient of thermal conductivity of the wood on concrete system?

A) 0.245 W/m $^{\circ}$ C
B) 1.22 W/m $^{\circ}$ C
C) 1.65 W/m $^{\circ}$ C
D) 2.02 W/m $^{\circ}$ C
E) 2.34 W/m $^{\circ}$ C
