Question

Harper needs to mail an envelope. She

weighs it at home as 10.4 ounces. When
she gets to the post office, the clerk
weighs it at 9.6 ounces. What is the
percent error in the weight of the
envelope?​

Answer 1

8.333%

Explanation:

percent error =
`(Vobserved-Vtrue)/(Vtrue)=(10.4-9.6)/(9.6)= (0.8)/(9.6) = 0.08333333333 \\`

`0.08333333333 * 100`% = 8.333%
