1. Find the Correct Conversion:
* The correct conversion of 20ºC to Fahrenheit is:
* (20 * 9/5) + 32 = 68ºF
2. Calculate the Error:
* Error = |Incorrect Value - Correct Value|
* Error = |64ºF - 68ºF| = 4ºF
3. Calculate the Percent Error:
* Percent Error = (Error / Correct Value) * 100%
* Percent Error = (4ºF / 68ºF) * 100%
* Percent Error ≈ 5.88%
Therefore, the approximate percent error in the student's conversion is about 5.88%.
