Jade measured the height of an art frame as 5.23 feet, but the actual height was 6 feet. What is the percent of error in Jade's measurement? 12.83% 13.55% 14.72% 15.55%
Answer:
Option 1 -12.83%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Jade measured the height of an art frame as 5.23 feet, but the actual height was 6 feet.
To find : What is the percent of error in Jade's measurement?
Solution :
We know that, percentage error is calculated by
\(\text{Error}\%=\frac{\text{Actual-Calculated}}{\text{Actual}}\times 100\)
We have given, Actual height of frame is 6 feet.
Calculated frame of height is 5.23 feet.
Substituting the values in the formula,
\(\text{Error}\%=\frac{6-5.23}{6}\times 100\)
\(\text{Error}\%=\frac{0.77}{6}\times 100\)
\(\text{Error}\%=0.1283\times 100\)
\(\text{Error}\%=12.83\%\)
Therefore, Option 1 is correct .
The percent of error in Jade's measurement is 12.83%.
