Answer 13

Ok this problem works like this. I am going to use counting numbers, which makes it simpler I think.

Lets say we measured 4 but the actual measurement was 2 . First fine the difference

4 - 2 = 2

Now what percent of 4 is 2. This is like saying what fraction of 4 is 2

2 / 4 = 1/2 = .5 = 50%

The problem you have works the same way

4 - 3.68 = .32

Can you finish the rest?
