Answer:

9.59 turns

Step-by-step explanation:

A test tube looks like cylinder, we can say it has a cross section of circle- like. Then the circumference of the test tube can be determined,Then use it to divide length of the string which answered the question.

Circumference of the tube=( π d)

Where d= diameter

π= 3.142

If we substitute the values, we have

= (3× 3.142)= 9.42cm

length of the string= 90.42cm

Circumference of the tube= 9.42cm

Number of turns around the test tube=

=( length of the string) /Circumference of the tube

=(90.42 ÷ 9.42)

= 9.59cm
