Priya is conducting a density experiment in which the density of a metal is calculated by the formula density = mass/volume. She tests six different metals with volumes between 15 and 32 cubic centimeters (1 cc3 = 1 mL) by first weighing each, and then dropping them into a graduated cylinder with 50.0 mL of water in it and recording the amount of water displaced by reading the new volume off the cylinder. Which scenario would most likely result in the greatest percent error of the density of each metal? Assume Priya uses the same scale and graduated cylinder for each metal. using a graduated cylinder calibrated with 10 mL intervals using a scale with a variance of 0.0005 to weigh each metal using a graduated cylinder calibrated with 100 mL intervals using a scale that is completely balanced and accurate
