A student mistakenly measures the length of a radius to be 24 inches. The actual radius is 25 inches. What is the relative error? A. 1 B. 0.01 C. 0.04 D. 0.5 To move from meter to millimeter, A. divide by 100. B. divide by 1,000. C. multiply by 1,000.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To move from meter to millimeter you divide by 1,000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The relative error is C. 0.04

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i told you it was0.04 and the econd one is To move from meter to millimeter you divide by 1,000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get 0.04 tho @jenn_jenn94

OpenStudy (anonymous):

24/25 = 0.96 so relative error is 0.04 its a ratio but can also be a percentage.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay how do you do ratios again @Helpmeplease99

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its like getting 50 / 100 on a test, you divide the smaller one by the bigger one, and then u convert to a percentage multiplying by 100. in your case its relative error, so u are after the difference between the two numbers, how much does 24 vary to 25 in other words. think percentages, 25 is 100 % how much is 24 of 25 and what is the difference between the two.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To indicate that you're using a ratio, you can use the division sign ( / ), a colon ( : ),

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bhleee soo how do you get from 0.96 to 0.04 @jenn_jenn94 & @Helpmeplease99

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its the error

OpenStudy (anonymous):

24/25 = 0.96 error is 0.04 its a ratio but can also be a percentage.
