The formula 1/R = 1/R1 + 1R2 determines the combined resistance R when resistors of resistance R1

Question:

The formula 1/R = 1/R1 + 1R2 determines the combined resistance R when resistors of resistance R1 and R2 are connected in parallel. Suppose that R1 and R2 were measured at 25 and 100 ohms, respectively, with possible errors in each measurement of 0.5 ohm. Calculate R and give an estimate for the maximum error in this value.
