You are testing two food scales for accuracy by weighing two different types of foods. Use the drop-down menus to complete the s

tatements about the scales' accuracy. Scale 1 Measured Weight Actual Weight 85 oz 100 oz Scale 2 Measured Weight Actual Weight 47 oz 50 oz CLEAR CHECK Because the object on Scale 1 weighs more than the object on Scale 2, each ounce of error results in a lesser percent error. Scale 1 was 15 ounces off and Scale 2 was 3 ounces off, so Scale 1 was % off and Scale 2 was % off.

Answer:

scale 1 was 15% off and SCALE 2 was 6% off

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale __ Measured Weight ____Actual Weight

1_________85 oz _______________100 oz

2 ________ 47 oz _______________ 50 oz

Percentage error :

[(|measured - actual |) ÷ actual] * 100%

Scale 1 :

|85 - 100| = 15 oz

15 / 100 * 100% = 15%

Scale 2 :

|47 - 50| = 3 oz

3 / 50 * 100% = 0.06 * 100% = 6%

Hence, scale 1 was 15% off while SCALE 2 was 6%
