    1.4%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Actual Length = 14.7 inches

    Wrong Measurement = 14,5 inches

    Error in Measurement = 14.7 - 14.5 = 0.2 inches

    Percentage Error = (Error in Measurement/Actual Value) X 100

    = (0.2/14.7) X 100

    =0.0136 X 100

    =1.36%

    Percentage Error=1.4% (to the nearest tenth)
