i think it C

Answer 6

Let's start by calculating the `amount` of error.

How far off is 44 from 45.5?

Answer 7

like 1

Answer 8

LOL yes... "like" 1 :)
but we need an exact value to continue.

Answer 9

1

Answer 10

45.5 - 44 = ?

1.5

Answer 12

Ok good.

So the size of the error is 1.5m

The proportion of error to the total is 1.5/45.5

Calculate that value, you'll get an ugly decimal for your proportion.
Multiply by 100 to convert it to a percent.

Answer 14

150

Answer 15

1.5 / 45.5 = ?

Answer 16

0.03296703296

Answer 17

Ok good.
Now multiply by 100 to convert to a decimal value.
(Or simply move the decimal 2 places to the right).

Answer 19

No. You must've multiplied by 10.

Answer 20

3.3
