River needs to buy a shade for a window in his house. He measured the width of the window as 27 inches. The actual measurement is 24 inches. What is rivers percent error?

Respuesta :

Answer:

12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Actual measurement of the window = 24 inches

Measured measurement of the window = 27 inches

We need to find the Rivers percent error. It can be calculated as follows :

% = (|actual value-measured value|)/actual value × 100

[tex]\%=\dfrac{27-24}{24}\times 100\\\\\%=12.5\%[/tex]

So, River's percent error is 12.5%.
