Answer:
5.45%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
An airline ticket states that the flight takes 2 hours and 45 minutes.
The flight time is actually 2 hours and 54 minutes.
Question asked:
What is the percent error in the flight time?
Solution:
As we know:
[tex]Percent\ error=\frac{Experimental\ value - Theoretical\ value}{ Theoretical\ value}} \times100[/tex]
Theoretical value = 2 hours and 45 minutes
1 hour = 60 minutes
2 hours 45 minutes = 60 [tex]\times[/tex] 2 + 45 = 120 + 45 = 165 minutes
Experimental value = 2 hours and 54 minutes
1 hour = 60 minutes
2 hours 54 minutes = 60 [tex]\times[/tex] 2 + 54 = 120 + 54 = 174 minutes
[tex]Percent\ error=\frac{174-165}{165} \times100\\ \\ Percent\ error=\frac{9}{165} \times100\\ \\ Percent\ error=\frac{900}{165} \\ \\ Percent\ error=5.45[/tex]
Thus, the percent error in the flight time is 5.45%
