    Answer: 40 percent

    Step-by-step explanation: real value = 1.5 liters, estimated value = 2.1 liters.

    Percentage student's estimate = (difference in estimate / real value) * 100

    Difference in estimate = 2.1-1.5 = 0.6

    Real value = 1.5

    Percentage student's estimate = (0.6/1.5) * 100 = 0.4*100 = 40 percent
