The answer to this question would be 38 ml because of something called the water displacement theory. The water displacement theory can calculate the volume of an object by taking the volume of the graduated cylinder after said object is dropped in, and subtracting the volume of the cylinder before there was an object. Hope this helps and have a good day:)
