Answer:

10 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the object can be found by using the formula

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

final volume = 46.7 ml

initial volume = 36.7 mL

We have

volume = 46.7 - 36.7 = 10 mL

We have the final answer as

10 mL

Hope this helps you
