Answer:

The answer is 5.26 %

Explanation:

The percentage error of a certain measurement can be found by using the formula

[tex]P(\%) = \frac{error}{actual \: \: number} \times 100\% \\ [/tex]

actual density = 11.4g/cm³

error = 11.4 - 10.8 = 0.6

We have

[tex]p(\%) = \frac{0.6}{11.4} \times 100 \\ = 5.263157894...[/tex]

We have the final answer as

5.26 %

Hope this helps you
