GPS rangefinders allowed in High School Golf Matches?
please help with math on this hard problem?
A laser range finder is able to compute a distance up to 3 km with an accuracy of 99.5%. What possible error is there in a reported measurement of 2500 meters?
A less than 5 meters
B between 5 an 10 meters
C between 10 and 15 meters
D over 20 meters
3km=3000 meters
3000*.005(the error rate)=15
15/3000 compared to X/2500
15*2500=37500
3000*X=3000X
37500=3000X
37500/3000=3000X/3000
12.5=X
So C is your answer.
