Question

Tisa and Paloma are measuring different lengths of sidewalk.

Use the drop-down menus to complete the statements about Tisa and Paloma's measurements.

Answer 1

Because Tisa's section of sidewalk is longer than Paloma's section, each foot of error in measurement results in a lesser percent error. Tisa's measurement is 3 ft off and Paloma's measurement is 1 ft off, so Tisa's measurement is 6 % off and Paloma's measurement is 10 % off.
