Emily measured the height of a dresser as 4.27 feet, but the actual height was 4 feet. what is the percentage of error in emily’s measurement?

We need to find the percentage of the extra feet that she measured, so first we have to find out how much that is. We can do this by simply subtracting:

4.27 - 4 = 0.27

Now we can set up a proportion to find the percentage.



Solve for x

0.27 x 100 = 27
27/4 = 6.75

The answer is 6.75% :)

Hopefully this helps! If you have any more questions or don't understand, feel free to DM me, and I'll get back to you ASAP! :)

The operation is suck a c@ck? !
