Astudent measured the mass of a small object and found it to be 56.0 grams. the object's mass is known to be 55.0 grams. what is the percent of error in the student's measurement?

The percentage error, also known as percent error, is a measure of how inaccurate a measurement is, standardized to how large the measurement is. It is the relative error expressed in terms of per 100.

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

% error= |(55.0g − 56.0g) / 55.0| × 100 = 1.82%

I hope this helps and if you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask again.
