Answer:
5%
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming the measurement is rounded to the nearest pound, there is the potential for the reported value to differ by 1/2 pound from the measured value. The precision of the measurement is thus ...
(0.5 lb)/(10.0 lb) = 5/100 = 5%
__
Unless we know the cat's actual weight, we cannot determine the error in the measurement. If the cat actually weighs 10 pounds, the error is 0%.
