Q. What is the percent error for a measurement of

5

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

\newline

\_\_\_\%

Find Error Range: Find the greatest possible error for $5$ quarts. $\newline$ Divide the smallest unit of measurement by $2$ . $\newline$ Since the smallest unit of measurement is not specified, we will assume it is $1$ quart for the purpose of this calculation. $\newline$ $\frac{1}{2} = 0.5$ $\newline$ Greatest possible error: $0.5$ quarts
Calculate Percent Error: Calculate the percent error. $\newline$ We have: $\newline$ Measurement: $5$ quarts $\newline$ Greatest possible error: $0.5$ quarts $\newline$ Percent error = $(\text{Greatest possible error} / \text{Measurement}) \times 100\%$ $\newline$ Percent error = $(0.5 / 5) \times 100\%$
Perform Calculation: Perform the calculation. $\newline$ Percent error = $0.1 \times 100\%$ $\newline$ Percent error = $10\%$
