Answer 3

To find Teresa's percent error, we need to calculate the difference between her estimate and the actual value, divide that by the actual value, and then multiply by 100.

The difference between Teresa's estimate and the actual value is 18 - 16 = 2.

Now, we divide that difference by the actual value: 2/16 = 0.125.

Finally, we multiply by 100 to get the percent error: 0.125 * 100 = 12.5%.

Therefore, Teresa's percent error is 12.5%.
