In Chemistry, Seth recorded the weight of copper tubing as 15.4 grams. The actual weight was 15.8 grams. What is his percent of error, rounded to the nearest percent?

-2.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent error is the difference between the measured and known value, and then we divide by the known value, and then multiply by 100%.

Estimated.number = 15.4 grams.

Actual number = 15.8 grams

Percentage error = (Estimated number - Actual number)/Actual number × 100

= (15.4 - 15.8)/15.8 × 100

= -0.4/15.8 × 100

= 0.0253 × 100

= 2.53

= -2.6% approximately

answer: i believe its b. if you sound out the sentences that sounds wrong.

1gm = 1000mg so 0.1gm = 1000mg

first, convert the weight to kg

160lb * 1kg/2.2lb = 72.7kg

next, the dose

72.7kg * 100mg/kg = 7270mg
