The equation to find percent error is

\frac{actual-theoretical}{theoretical}*100

where actual is the value that actually came out (in this case, 11.5 km) and theoretical is the value that was supposed to come out (in this case, 10 km).  Just plug in the numbers and simplify.

\frac{actual-theoretical}{theoretical}*100\\\\\frac{11.5-10}{10}*100=\frac{1.5}{10}*100=15\%\ error

So, the true answer would be 15%.  Apparently, the question you're asking takes 11.5 as the theoretical and the 10 as the actual (which I personally disagree with)

If you plugged in the numbers that way, the answer comes out to 13.04%.  So, the correct answer for your answer choices is c. 13%

A reindeer can run 96 miles in 3 hours at this rate how far can a reindeer run in 1hour explain
jekas [21]
This is how you do it: you put mile 96 over 3 and if u wanna know how many it will run in 1 hour. You cross multiply so you multiply 96 times1 and you get 96 but now you have to divide it by 3. If you do that you'll get the answer which is 32. There are other ways to do it but I just think it's way easier this way
