Teresa thinks the giraffe is 18 feet tall, but it is actually 16 feet tall. To find the percent error, we need to see how much Teresa's estimate differs from the actual height.
First, we find the difference between the estimated height and the actual height: 18 feet - 16 feet = 2 feet.
Next, we need to find what percent the difference is of the actual height. To do this, we divide the difference by the actual height and then multiply by 100: (2 feet / 16 feet) * 100 = 12.5%.
So, Teresa's percent error is 12.5%.
Teresa estimates that the height of a giraffe in a zoo is 18 feet. In fact, it is 16 feet tall. What is Teresa's percent error? Use proportional relationships to solve the problem. Show all your work and round your answer to the nearest tenth.

what does the (/) mean?
The symbol ("/") represents division. When we write "2 feet / 16 feet," we are indicating that we are dividing 2 feet by 16 feet.
