Chase went sledding down a hill. He thought he went 40 feet down the hill; he actually went 32 feet on his sled. What was his percent error of distance the sled went down the hill?

Explanation:

Distance Chase thought he travelled = 40 feet

The actual distance travelled by him = 32 feet

Error % = (40 - 32)/ 100

= 8/100

= 0.08
