Answer:

5.04%

Step-by-step explanation:

The accepted value of density = 3.427 g/ml

The calculated value of density = 3.600 g/ml

We need to find Ally's percentage error on her density. The error in any value is given by :


\%=\frac{\text{calculated-accepted}}{\text{accepted}}* 100\\\\=(3.427 -3.600 )/(3.427 )* 100\\\\=5.04\%

So, the required error is 5.04%.
