Answer:

percentage error = 12.28%

Step-by-step explanation:

5 x 0.14 = 0.7

5 x 1.14 = 5.7

as increase is not the same as error decrease.

We use the same numbers 12.28% = 0.1228.

5.7 x 0.1228 = 0.69996  = 12.28%

5.7 - 0.69996 = 5.00004 foot.  As decrease.

And find it is correct.

His error therefore was 12.28% out.

As we work the first numbers 5.7 and can only x by a number to see 5ft

We take 5.7 x 0.1228 and find 0.69996 when taken from 5.7 ft. is unmistakably 5 foot.  (5.00004) ft.

Answer:

14%

Step-by-step explanation:

percent error = (experimental measure - real measure)/(real measure) * 100%

percent error = (5.7 ft - 5 ft)/(5 ft) * 100%

percent error = (0.7 ft)/(5 ft) * 100%

percent error = 0.14 * 100%

percent error = 14%
