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)
13.2%
11.7%
7.0%
88.3%
To find the percent error, we can use the formula:
Percent Error = (|Predicted Value - Actual Value| / Actual Value) * 100
In this case, the predicted value is 60 minutes, and the actual value is 53 minutes.
Percent Error = (|60 - 53| / 53) * 100
Percent Error = (7 / 53) * 100
Percent Error ≈ 13.2
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the percent error is 13.2%.
Therefore, the correct answer is 13.2%.
