Question

Answer 1

Answer:

5.1724%

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: approximately 5.1724%

Work Shown:

2 hrs, 45 min = 120 min + 45 min = 165 min

2 hrs, 54 min = 120 min + 54 min = 174 min

A = estimated value = 165

B = true value = 174

C = percent error

C = 100*(  |A - B| )/B

C = 100*( |165-174| )/174

C = 100*( | -9 | )/174

C = 100*9/174

C = 900/174

C = 5.1724% which is approximate
