Walter is planning a hiking trip and he estimated the gradient of trail to be 213.6 ft/mile. After hiking and tracking the trail, he found that the trail was actually 202.7 ft/mile. What was his percent error? Did he overestimate or underestimate the gradient?

His percent error = 5.38 %

He overestimated the gradient.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula :

Given, Estimated gradient of trail  = 213.6 ft/mile

Actual gradient of trail  =  202.7 ft/mile

Since,  213.6 > 202.7 , that means he overestimated the gradient.

Percent error:

Hence, percent error = 5.38 %

the answer is 31.27mph

11

step-by-step explanation:

32.50-7.50=25

225/25=11
