To calculate the percent error, we need to find the absolute difference between the predicted time and the actual time, and then divide it by the predicted time and multiply by 100.
Absolute difference = 60 minutes - 53 minutes = 7 minutes
Percent error = (7 minutes / 60 minutes) * 100% = 11.7%
Therefore, the percent error is 11.7%.
Mark and Matthew signed up to walk in a 5K walk/run race. They predict it will take them 60 minutes to complete the race. Mark and Matthew finished the race in 53 minutes. What is the percent error? Round to the nearest tenth.(1 point)
