Q. What is the percent error for a measurement of

2

pints?

\newline

If needed, round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent.

\newline

\newline

\_\_\_\_\%

Find Error for $2$ Pints: Find the greatest possible error for $2$ pints. Divide the smallest unit of measurement by $2$ . $\frac{1}{2} = 0.5$ Greatest possible error: $0.5$ pints
Calculate Percent Error: Calculate the percent error. $\newline$ We have: $\newline$ Measurement: $2$ pints $\newline$ Greatest possible error: $0.5$ pints $\newline$ Percent error = $(\text{Greatest possible error} / \text{Measurement}) \times 100\%$ $\newline$ Percent error = $(0.5 / 2) \times 100\%$ $\newline$ = $0.25 \times 100\%$ $\newline$ = $25\%$
