Mark and Matthew signed up to walk in a 5K walk/run race they per ticket it will take them 60 minutes to complete the race. Mark and Matthew finish the race in 53 minutes. What is the percent error round that to the nearest 10th one point
To find the percent error, we need to calculate the difference between the expected time and the actual time, and then divide that difference by the expected time. Finally, multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.
Expected time: 60 minutes
Actual time: 53 minutes
Difference: 60 - 53 = 7
Percent Error: (7/60) * 100 ≈ 11.7%
Rounded to the nearest 10th: 11.7%
