Relative error= |12.38|/50(100%)

Answer 1

To calculate the relative error as given by the expression \( \frac{|12.38|}{50} \times 100% \), follow these steps:

1. Calculate the absolute value of 12.38, which is still 12.38 since it's already positive.
2. Divide by 50: \[ \frac{12.38}{50} = 0.2476 \]
3. Multiply by 100% to convert to a percentage: \[ 0.2476 \times 100% = 24.76% \]

So, the relative error is approximately 24.76%.
