Question

If a graduated cylinder has 28ml of water in it and you add an object which causes the water level to rise to 47ml, what is the volume of the object you placed in the water?

Answer 1

The object placed in the water has a volume of 19 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Data given

volume of the cylinder before adding the object = 28 mL = 28 cm³

After adding an object with volume X the volume rises to 47 mL = 47 cm³

Step 2: Calculate the volume of the object

Volume of the object = Final volume - initial volume

Volume of the object = 47 cm³ (or 47 mL) - 28 cm³ ( or 28 mL) = 19 cm³ (or 19 mL)

The object placed in the water has a volume of 19 cm³
