Question

Amber measured the length of her yard by walking from one end of the yard to the other. She counted 44 steps. Assuming that each of her steps was 1'2 m in length, Amber said the length of her yard was 44 * 1/2 = 22 m. The actual length of her yard is 19 m.

What was the percent error in Amber’s measurement? Round to the nearest tenth of a percent, if necessary.

A.
13.6%

B.
15.8%

C.
76%

D.
131.6%

Answer 1

| 19 - 22 |= 3
3 / 19 = 0.15789473
0.15789473 * 100 = 15.789473
15.789473 = 16%

Is 16% correct?
