The predicted time for Mark and Matthew to complete the race is 60 minutes, but they finished it in 53 minutes. To calculate the percent error, we can subtract the predicted time from the actual time:
60 minutes - 53 minutes = 7 minutes
To find the percent error, we divide the difference by the predicted time and multiply by 100:
(7 minutes / 60 minutes) × 100 = 11.666...
Rounding to the nearest tenth, the percent error is approximately 11.7%.
