<h3>The absolute error is 6</h3><h3>The percent error is 16.22 %</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
Actual volume of his bathtub is 37 gal
Estimate is 31 gal
<em><u>Find the absolute error</u></em>
Absolute Error = | Measured Value - Actual Value |
Absolute Error = | 31 - 37 |
Absolute Error = 6
<em><u>Find the percent error</u></em>

Substituting we get,

Negative sign means percent decrease
Thus percent error is 16.22 %
The ratio is 6:18 and you are trying to find out what are blue. You divide 240 by 6 and get 40. You then multiply 40 x 18 and get 720.
We know a or b != 0
but a-b==0 so both are the same unknown number
b/a must = 1
so
a/b is equivalent to b/a as a/b=1 as well.
So the last answer choice.
