Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf v=12 \ mL}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Grace found the volume of the rock using water displacement.

To calculate the volume, we must subtract the initial volume from the final volume.


v_f-v_i

The initial or original volume is 20 milliliters.

The final or new volume, after the rock is added to the water, is 32 milliliters.


v_f=32 \ mL\\v_i=20\ mL

Substitute the values into the formula and subtract.


32 \ mL-20 \ mL


12 \ mL

The volume of the rock is 12 milliliters.
