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.

@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.
