Question

An object was measured by a worker as

Answer 1

Answer: The percent error in the worker's measurement is 1.38%

Explanation:

Actual length of the object = 14.4 cm

length measured by the worker = 14.6 cm

absolute error in measuring the object = 14.6 - 14. 4 = 0.2 cm

percentage error =$\frac{\text {absolute error}}{\text {actual length}}\times 100\%$

Putting in the values we get:

percentage error =$\frac{0.2}{14.4}\times 100\%=1.38\%$

Thus the percent error in the worker's measurement is 1.38%

Answer 2

Answer - 0.73%

14.6            .2

          =          

100              x

(Above is proportions I used to get the answer)

x = 0.73% which is the answer.
