An object has a mass of 35.00 grams. On Luixandras balance it weighs 33.95 grams. What is the percent error in this balance?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is 3 %

Explanation:

The percentage error of a certain measurement can be found by using the formula

[tex]P(\%) = \frac{error}{actual \: \: number} \times 100\% \\ [/tex]

From the question

actual mass = 35 g

error = 35 - 33.95 = 1.05

We have

[tex]p(\%) = \frac{1.05}{35} \times 100 \\ [/tex]

We have the final answer as

3 %

Hope this helps you
