Answer: -2.6%
Step-by-step explanation:
Percent error is the difference between the measured and known value, and then we divide by the known value, and then multiply by 100%.
Estimated.number = 15.4 grams.
Actual number = 15.8 grams
Percentage error = (Estimated number - Actual number)/Actual number × 100
= (15.4 - 15.8)/15.8 × 100
= -0.4/15.8 × 100
= 0.0253 × 100
= 2.53
= -2.6% approximately
Answer:it is 3.75
Step-by-step explanation:
divide 24 and 6.40
Let's call the length of the rectangular fence
and the width of the rectangular fence
.
Based on the information in the problem, we can make two equations, based on the formulas for perimeter and area:


Now, let's substitute in the values we are given in the problem:


Now, let's solve the system using substitution.

- Solve for
from the first equation

- Substitute this value into the second equation


- Multiply both sides of the equation by


- Subtract
from both sides of the equation

and 
- Use the Zero Product Property and solve both factors


We are given two possible lengths. However, the funny thing is that both produce the same dimensions: 24 ft by 10 ft:


Thus, our answer is Choice C, or 10 feet by 24 feet.
