Question

You measure the volume of a 4 liter container to be 3.8 liters. What two values would have the same percent error for a 14 liter container?

Answer 1

Answer: 13.3 liters would have the same percent error for a 14 liter container.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

He measured the volume of a 4 liter container to be = 3.8 liter

We need to find the error for a 14 liter container.

So, We will use "Unitary Method" .

He will measure the volume of a 1 liter container to be

`(3.8)/(4)=0.95\ liter`

So, he will measure the volume of a 14 liter container to be

`0.95* 14=13.3\ liters`

So, 13.3 liters would have the same percent error for a 14 liter container.
