use the equation - R=V/I
V=9
I(amps) = 0.020 - 0.030
gives either
450 ohms
300 ohms
as an inline resistor
The young do not know enough to be prudent, therefore they attempt the impossible - and achieve it, generation after generation.

I needed a single resistor a while back so I took myself down to Maplin. It cost well over 30p. There are online sites selling singles for about 5p. If you buy in bulk from somewhere like RS then you get even cheaper than that.
The exact value of the resistor probably isn't that critical. There are sites that give you a calculator for it but anything between 1k and 3k should be fine.
