Question

A rock is dropped into a graduated cylinder filled with 35 mL of water.

Answer 1

Answer:

5 cm³.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Volume of water = 35 mL

Volume of water + Rock = 40 mL

Volume of Rock =.?

The volume of the rock can be obtained as follow:

Volume of Rock = (Volume of water + Rock) – (Volume of water)

Volume of Rock = 40 – 35

Volume of Rock = 5 mL.

Finally, we shall convert 5 mL to cm³.

This can be obtained as follow:

1 mL = 1 cm³

Therefore,

5 mL = 5 mL × 1 cm³ / 1 mL

5 mL = 5 cm³

Thus, we can say that the volume of the rock is 5 cm³.
