To be labeled as a jumbo egg, the egg is supposed to weigh 2.5 oz. Priya buys a carton of jumbo eggs and measures one of the eggs as 2.4 oz. What is the percent error?

The percent error is 4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected value of egg = 2.5 oz

Observed value of egg = 2.4 oz

We need to find the percent error.

The formula used to calculate percent error is:

We use || (absolute) sign because if the answer is negative, we considered it as positive i,e |-a| = a

Putting values in formula and finding percent error

So, the percent error is 4%

a 4/6 = 9/12   not proportional

step-by-step explanation:

to find which are not proportional, we can use cross products

if it is true, they are proportional.   if it is not true, they are not proportional.

a 4/6 = 9/12

4* 12 = 6*9

48 = 54

not this is not proportional  

b 2/3 = 12/18  

2* 18 = 3 * 12

36 = 36

this is proportional

c 5/4 = 10/8  

5*8 = 4*10

40 = 40

this is proportional

d 7/5 = 35/25

7*25 = 5 * 35

175 = 175

is proportional

so, converting firstly the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then "adding".
