Question

A school bag weighs 1.750 kg corrected to the nearest gram. What is the percentage error in this measurement?

Answer 1

5.71%

Explanation:

1.75 kg = 1750 gm ( 1kg = 100gm)

So if the corrected weight is to the nearest gram, the bag can weigh ± 1 gm from the corrected weight

So the error is 1/1750 = 1 /1750 x 100 % = 5.71%
