David measured the height of a window frame as 5.61 feet but the actual height was 6 feet. What is the percentage of error in David ‘s measurement

1 answer

To find the percentage of error, David's measurement needs to be compared to the actual height.

The difference between the measurement and the actual height is 6 - 5.61 = 0.39 feet.

The percentage of error can be calculated by dividing the difference by the actual height, and then multiplying by 100%:

(0.39 / 6) * 100% = 6.5%

Therefore, the percentage of error in David's measurement is 6.5%.
