you estimate the distance from your house to school to be 1.6 miles. the actual distance is 1.9 miles. find the percent.

Determine the difference between actual distance and measured distance.
[tex]1.9-1.6=0.3[/tex]Determine the percent error in measurement.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{0.3}{1.9}\cdot100=15.789 \\ \approx15.8 \end{gathered}[/tex]So percent error is 15.8%.
