Mia and Robert signed up to walk in a 5k walk/run race. They predict that it will take them 60 minutes to complete the race. Mia and Robert finish the race in 53 minutes. What is the percent error
To calculate the percent error, we need to find the difference between the predicted time and the actual time, and then divide it by the predicted time. Finally, multiply by 100 to get the percentage.
The predicted time is 60 minutes.
The actual time is 53 minutes.
The difference between the predicted time and the actual time is: 60 - 53 = 7 minutes.
Now we can calculate the percent error: (7 / 60) * 100 = 11.67%
Therefore, the percent error is 11.67%.
