Answer 2

Option 1 -12.83%

Explanation:

Given : Jade measured the height of an art frame as 5.23 feet, but the actual height was 6 feet.

To find : What is the percent of error in Jade's measurement?

Solution :

We know that, percentage error is calculated by

`\text{Error}\%=\frac{\text{Actual-Calculated}}{\text{Actual}}* 100`

We have given, Actual height of frame is 6 feet.

Calculated frame of height is 5.23 feet.

Substituting the values in the formula,

`\text{Error}\%=(6-5.23)/(6)* 100`

`\text{Error}\%=(0.77)/(6)* 100`

`\text{Error}\%=0.1283* 100`

`\text{Error}\%=12.83\%`

Therefore, Option 1 is correct .

The percent of error in Jade's measurement is 12.83%.
