Answer:

absolute error: 0.4 kg
relative error: 6.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute error is the difference between the estimate and the actual weight:

7.0 kg -6.6 kg = 0.4 kg . . . . absolute error

The relative error is the ratio of the absolute error to the actual weight:

(0.4 kg)/(6.6 kg) × 100% = 6.060606...% ≈ 6.1% . . . . relative error

We must simplify each option to see if they are equivalent to $-\frac{3}{8}$ .

Lets try A.

$-\frac{6}{16}$ can be simplified to $-\frac{3}{8}$ by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 3.

$-\frac{6}{16}$ ÷ $\frac{3}{3} = -\frac{3}{8}$

A is correct!

Lets try B

$\frac{12}{32}$ simplifies to $\frac{3}{8}$ . However, because this answer is not negative, it is not equivalent.

Lets try C

There is a negative in the numerator, making this fraction negative. So yes, $\frac{-3}{8} = -\frac{3}{8}$ .

Bonus Info: If there was a negative in both the numerator and denominator, the two negatives would cancel eachother out, making the fraction positive

C is correct!

Lastly, Lets try D

There is a negative in the denominator, so this fraction is negative. $\frac{9}{-24}$ can be simplified by dividing by 3 to $-\frac{3}{8}$ .

$\frac{9}{-24}$ ÷3 = $-\frac{3}{8}$

D is correct!

Hope this helped you!~
