Question

Object A has a length of 4cm, a width of 3cm, and a height of 1 cm. Object B is dropped into a graduated cylinder. It displaces 15 mL of water. The volume of object A is:
-greater than the volume of object b?

-less than the volume of object b?

-equal to the volume of object b?

Answer 1

Answer:

(2) Less than the volume of object b.

Explanation:

1 mL is, by definition, 1cc (cubic centimeter) of water. Therefore if B displaces 15 cc, then its volume is 15. A's volume is $4\cdot3\cdot1 = 12$cc which is less than 15, so the answer is (2).
