@Psalmer Since cm is in the denominator before getting the reciprocal of it for the resistivity, you must multiply it by 100 to convert it to the meter.

@Lik When you want to convert the cm to meter, it must be divided by 100 and not multiply.
0.29488cm x (1m/100cm).
0.29488cm x (1m/100cm).

Conductivity= 1.6x10^-19 * (5x10^12 * 100 + 8x10^13 * 2.3x10^4) = 0.29488.
Since this is in cm multiply it by 100 to get value in m which is 29.488,
Resistivity = 1/conductivity,
Resistivity = 0.034 ohm-meter.
Since this is in cm multiply it by 100 to get value in m which is 29.488,
Resistivity = 1/conductivity,
Resistivity = 0.034 ohm-meter.

Here e = 1.6*10^-19 and n represents holes.
