Question

3. Given a=6.31,b=15.32, find the percentage error in a/b​

Answer 1

The percentage error is 59% (approximately).

Explanation:

Given:

a=6.31, b=15.32.

Now, for calculating the percentage error, first we calculate the difference between a and b.

The difference between a and b :

`15.32-6.31`

`9.01`

Then, we calculate the percentage:

`(9.01)/(15.32)* 100`

`0.5881* 100`

`58.81`

So, the percentage error is 58.81%.

Therefore, the percentage error is 59% (approximately).
