Question

amanda measures the top of an 80cm desk to be 82.4. dwayne measures the height of a 140cm cabinet to be 137.2 cm. which student has a greater percent error

Answer 1

Amanda's percent of error:
`(82.4 -80)/(80)` = .03 or 3%

Dwyane's percent of error:
`(140-137.2)/(140)` = .02 = 2%

Looks like Amanda had the larger error
