You'll need to give a bit more information for the question to be answered. You can only calculate the percentage of error if you know what the mass of the substance *should be* and what you've *measured* it to be.
In other words, if a substance has a mass of 0.55 grams and you measure it to be 0.80 grams, then the percent of error would be:
percent of error = { | measured value - actual value | / actual value } x 100%
So, in this case:
percent of error = { | 0.80 - 0.55 | / 0.55 } x 100%
percent of error = { | 0.25 | / 0.55 } x 100%
percent of error = 0.4545 x 100%
percent of error = 45.45%
So, in order to calculate the percent of error, you'll need to know what these two measurements are. Once you know these, plug them into the formula above and you should be all set!
He weighs 196 lbs and 6 ounces. if you add the pounds (180 to 3, 5, 6)you get 194. then you add he ounces, and remember that there are 16 ounces in a pound and 8 ounces in a cup, (6 to 9, 12, 11) you get 2lbs and 6 ounces. then you add the 2 extra pounds to the 194 and you get, all together, 196 lbs and 6 ounces.
The correct answer is the second choice.
Paolo made an error when he cross multiplied the proportion. He should have multiplied the 3 and the 8 and also the 12 and the x.
The second line should be:
12x = 24
Question - Answer
a) 1/2 L = 4
b) 1/2 L x 4 = 2
c) 5/6 x 2 = 1 4/6 L OR 1.67 L
d) 2/3 L = 3 beakers with 2/3 OR 5 beakers with 2/3 and 5/6
e) <1/3 L = 3 beakers
I believe that is the answer.
<span>Sales went from 48 pairs to 60 pairs:
total change = 60 - 48 = 12
percentage change = 12 / 48 = 0.25 = 0.25*100% = 25%
Answer: 25%</span>
