Question

Abby fills a graduated cylinder with 3 mL of water. She then

drops a small rock into the cylinder, and the water level rises
to the 5 mL mark. What is the volume of the rock?
mL

Answer 1

The volume of the rock is 2 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The level to which the graduated cylinder is filled with water by Abby = 3 mL

The level to which the graduated cylinder after the rock is dropped in = 5 mL

Therefore;

The volume of the rock = The level to which the graduated cylinder after the rock is dropped in - The level to which the graduated cylinder is filled with water by Abby

The volume of the rock = 5 mL - 3 mL = 2 mL

The volume of the rock = 2 mL.
