The complete question in the attached figure
we know that
2 liters may be 1.5 to 1.9 rounded up to 2
or 2.1 to 2.4 rounded down to 2
the biggest percent error would be between 2 and 1.5, which is a volume error of 0.5 liters
2 - 1.5 = 0.5 liters
percent error = (absolute error / quantity) * 100
percent error = [0.5/2] * 100% = 0.25 * 100% = 25%
the answer is the option C) 25%
Answer: 7.5
Form your proportion. Let x be the width of QRST.
Length of ABCD Length of QRST
----------------------- = -------------------------
Width of ABCD Width of QRST
8/5 = 12/x
Solve for x by cross-multiplying.
(8)(x) = (12)(5)
8x = 60
x = 7.5
