Question

This graduated cylinder is being used to measure an amount of a liquid. The numbers represent milliliters. What is the most precise measurement of the volume of this liquid?

Answer 1

The correct alternative is Option B (36.5 ml).

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure and the options of the query is not given. Below is the attachment given.

According to the question,

Higher reading,

= 40

Lower reading,

= 35

Now,

The increment will be:

=
`(Higher \ reading-Lower \ reading)/(Number \ of \ increments)`

=
`(40-35)/(5)`

=
`(5)/(5)`

=
`1`

The reading will be above 36 and below 37. Thus,

The precise measurement will be:

=
`36.5 \ ml`
