2.4 - 1.8 = .6 (She was off by .6 or .6/2.4 = .25 or 25%)

Well if you estimated 1.8 an it was actually 2.4 she has a 25% percent of error.

percent error- absolute value of the actual measurement minus the guesstimate divided by actual value
[2.4-1.8] divided by 2.4
.25 or 25% error------ i bet now you're smart enough to do the math ^_^

The answer is 25%...that's the difference............move the decimal and think of the two numbers as 24 and 18. 6 goes into 24 4 times but only 3 times into 18 so it's 1/4th or 25%...............

Percent error = [error]/(accepted value) x 100%, so (.6/2.4) x 100%, so 25% error

% Error is calculated by:
(Actual - Estimate) / Actual
Multiply that by 100 & round to whatever precision you need.

2.4-1.8=0.6
0.6/1.8 is 33%
