Q. Trisha was making muffins from scratch. She scooped out 2 cups of all-purpose flour and estimated that it weighed 250 grams. When she weighed the flour on the scale, it only weighed 247 grams. What is the percent error of Trisha's estimate?If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.____%
Calculate Difference: Calculate the difference between the estimated weight and the actual weight of the flour. Difference = Estimated weight - Actual weight Difference = 250 grams - 247 grams Difference = 3 grams
Calculate Percent Error: Calculate the percent error using the formula: Percent Error = (∣Difference∣/Actual Value)×100%. Percent Error = (3/247)×100% Percent Error = 0.012145748987854251×100% Percent Error = 1.2145748987854251%
Round Percent Error: Round the percent error to the nearest tenth.Rounded Percent Error = 1.2%
