Question

Crystal and Victor are comparing the estimated calories burned in a calorie-counting software to the actual calories burned during exercise.

Use the drop-down menus to complete the statements about the software's accuracy.

Answer 1

less than,

greater percent

24 cal

35 cal

15%

10%

Explanation:

Because Victor's calories are less than Crystal's calories, each calorie of error results in a greater percent error.

Even though Victor's estimate was 24 calories off and Crystal's estimate was 35 calories off, Victor's was 15% off and Crystal's was 10% off.

Answer 2

Because Victor's calories are less than Crystal's calories, each calorie of error results in a greater percent error.

Even though Victor's estimate was 24 calories off and Crystal's estimate was 35 calories off, Victor's was 15% off and Crystal's was 10% off.
