Line 33: ==Examples== As an example, if the exact value is 50 and the approximation is 49.9, then the absolute error is 0.1 and the relative error is 0.1/50 = 0.002 = 0.2%. Another example would be if, in measuring a ~~6mL~~6 mL beaker, the value read was ~~5mL~~5 mL. The correct reading being ~~6mL~~6 mL, this means the percent error in that particular situation is, rounded, 16.7%. ==Uses of relative error==
