A concrete wall of a cold storage room measures 3.0 m high, 5.0 m wide, and 20 cm thick. The room temperature is maintained at -10°C and the outside temperature is 20°C The inside wall is to be covered by a layer of wood in order to reduce the rate of heat loss through the wall by 90 percent. The thermal conductivities of concrete and wood are 0.80 W/m • K and 0.040 W/m • K, respectively. Under steady state conditions, the thickness of the layer of wood required is closest to

A) 60 mm.
B) 70 mm.
C) 80 mm.
⇒ D) 90 mm.
E) 100 mm.

The answer is 90 mm but I have no idea how to get there. I've tried this problem four times but no luck.

Which of these statements best explains how the hydrosphere interacts with the atmosphere to affect global climate? mountains block rain clouds and cause changes in global rainfall and evaporation. humans burn fossil fuels to produce greenhouse gases which cause global warming. humans cut down trees which affects the amount of oxygen in different parts of the globe. greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide, dissolve in oceans and prevent global warming.
