Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The percent increase formula is
For the bread, our percent increase looks like this:
which gives us a percent increase of 66.7%
For the cakes, our percent increase looks like this:
which gives us a percent increase of 20%
Percent relative error is calculated by the formula: (experimental value - literature value/ experimental value) x 100%
Therefore, (6-7/7) x 100% = 14.3%
Your answer is in absolute value :)
Let's compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges: convert each given proper fraction into its decimal counterpart:
3 63/80 => 3 .788 approx.
3 1/5 => 3.2
3 11/20 => 3.55
It's now an easy matter to arrange these numbers from least to greatest:
3.2, 3.55, 3.79, or
3 1/5, 3 11/20, 3 63/80
2/3 = x/9
cross multiply and divide to find x. 9*2=18.......18/3=6. He would need 6 pints of red paint
