3. bill uses his thermometer and finds the boiling point of ethyl to be 75 degrees. he looks in a reference book and finds that
the actual boiling point of ethyl is 80 degrees. what is his percent error?

6.25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent error is calculated by taking the difference of measured value and correct value divided by correct value and multiplied by 100%.

Mathematically,

Percent error = (correct value - measured value)/correct value  * 100%

in the problem given

measured value = 75 degrees Celsius

correct value = 80 degrees Celsius ( as given in reference book)

thus,

Percent error = (80 - 75)/80 * 100%

Percent error = (5/80 )* 100% = 6.25%

Percent error calculated by him is  6.25%.

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
