Question

Zoe measured a line to be 13.8 inches long if the actual length of the line is 10.9 inches then what was the percent error of the measurement to the nearest tenth of a percent

Answer 1

26.6%

Explanation:

The equation is

percent error = (observed - true) / true

26.6% = (13.8 - 10.9) / 10.9

26.6% = 2.9 / 10.9

26.6% = 0.26605504587
