Answer 2

Answer:

2.13%

Step-by-step explanation:

Inaccurate measurement = 5.5cm

Actual measurement = 5.62cm

Difference= actual - inaccurate

=> 5.62 - 5.5

Therefore, the measurement Jocelyn obtained is off by 0.12cm (difference)

Note: error = difference

% diff = error÷ actual measurement × 100

= 0.12/5.62 × 100

% diff. = 2.13 (to the nearest decimal place)
