Roderick Russo · Answer 1

The r value of a material is that which is related to the amount of heat that can be transferred through it. From the given example above, we say that the amount of heat that can be transferred through 48 cm of brick is the same amount of heat that can be transferred through 15 cm of fiberglass. This means that both substances have the same insulating ability. The answer is the second choice.
