1. The problem states that the uppercase letter $R$ is 34 and asks to transfer it to the lowercase letter $r$ which is 17. 2. This suggests a relationship or conversion between $R$ and $r$ where $R = 2r$ since $34 = 2 \times 17$. 3. The formula connecting $R$ and $r$ can be written as: $$R = 2r$$ 4. To find $r$ given $R$, rearrange the formula: $$r = \frac{R}{2}$$ 5. Substitute $R = 34$: $$r = \frac{34}{2} = 17$$ 6. Therefore, the lowercase $r$ corresponding to uppercase $R = 34$ is $r = 17$. This shows a direct proportional relationship where $r$ is half of $R$.
