When two resistors are wired in series with a 12 V battery, the current through the battery is 0.30 A. When they are wired in parallel with the same battery, the current is 1.6 A. What are the values of the two resistors?

Note: I understand other people have asked the same concept with different numbers, and their questions have been answered, however I do not understand why you need to multiple R1 by R2 when the resistors are in parallel, and furthermore, why are you supposed to multiply the "in parallel" equation by (R1+R2; the in series resistors) to find R1*R2?

Air enters a compressor operating at steady state at 1.05 bar, 300 k, with a volumetric flow rate of 93 m3/min and exits at 12 bar, 400 k. heat transfer occurs at a rate of 15.5 kw from the compressor to its surroundings. assuming the ideal gas model for air neglecting kinetic potential energy effects, determine the power in put in kw.
