Macy measured the mass of a 69.3 g mouse at 70.0 g. Eli measured the mass of a 3867 kg elephant at 3900 kilograms. Macy's error was 70-69.3 = 0.7 g-- about half the mass of a paperclip. What was Eli's error? Someone pls help!

To find the total weight of error subtract the measured weight from the actual weight

3900kg (actual weight) - 3867kg (measured weight) = 33 kg erorr
