Question

can you write

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 estimated that the giraffe is 18 feet tall, but it is actually 16 feet tall. The difference between Teresa's estimate and the actual height is 2 feet. To find the percent error, we divide the difference by the actual height (2 feet / 16 feet) and multiply by 100. This gives us a percent error of 12.5%.
