When two resistors ( $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ ) are added together in a parallel circuit to create an equivalent single resistor, the equivalent resistor ( $R_{eq}$ ) has a resistance defined by the following equation:

$\frac{1}{R_{eq}}= \frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}$

If $R_{1}=10$ and $R_{2}=20$ , what does $R_{eq}$ equal?
