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 10th
To find the percent error, we first need to find the difference between the predicted time and the actual time.
The predicted time is 60 minutes.
The actual time is 53 minutes.
Difference = 60 - 53 = 7 minutes
Now, we can find the percent error by dividing the difference by the predicted time and multiplying by 100.
Percent error = (7/60) * 100 = 11.67%
Rounded to the nearest 10th, the percent error is 11.7%.
