Question

The density of a liquid substance is 0.95 g/mL. Three students calculated the density as 0.56 g/mL. Calculate the percent

error.

Answer 1

The answer is 41.05 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage error of a certain measurement can be found by using the formula

`P(\%) = (error)/(actual \: \: number) * 100\% \\`

From the question we have

actual number = 0.95 g/mL

error = 0.95 - 0.56 = 0.39

We have

`p(\%) = (0.39)/(0.95) * 100 \\ = 41.0526315...`

We have the final answer as

41.05 %
