Answer: 6.416%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage error formula is given by :-

\%\text{error}=\dfrac{|\text{Estimate-Actual}|}{\text{Actual}}\times100

Given : The estimated weight of a substance = 475 mg

The actual weight of the substance = 445 mg

Then,

\%\text{error}=\dfrac{| 475-445|}{445}\times100\\\\=\dfrac{30}{445}\times100=6.74157303371\approx6.416\%

Hence, the percentage error in the first weighing. = 6.416%

I really need some help on this question
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

What is the car's rate in kilometers per minute?

0.9\frac{km}{min}

How many kilometers will the car travel in 5 minutes?

4.5\ km

Step-by-step explanation:

If we know:

\frac{54\ km}{1\ hour}

And there are 60 minutes in an hour:

\frac{1\ hour}{60\ minutes}

We can do:

\frac{54\ km}{1\ hour} * \frac{1\ hour}{60\ minutes} = \frac{54\ km}{60\ minutes} = 0.9 \frac{km}{min}

From here, we figure out the distance from minutes:

0.9\frac{km}{min} * 5 = 4.5\ km
