A string is 4.8m. A boy measured it to be 4.95m. Find the percentage error.
- A. \( \frac{5}{16} \)%
- B. \(1\frac{5}{16} \)%
- C. \( 3\frac{1}{33} \)%
- D. \( 3\frac{1}{8} \)%
Correct Answer: D. \( 3\frac{1}{8} \)%
Explanation
4.95m - 4.8m = 0.15m
\(\frac{0.15}{4.8} \times 100%\)
= \(\frac{25}{8}\)
= \(3\frac{1}{8} %)
