Question

Alice's teacher has given her a cup of water. She needs to find the volume of the water. How can Alice find the volume of the water? A. Alice can pour the water into a graduated cylinder to find the volume. B. Alice can put a ruler into the cup of water to find the volume. C. Alice can set a thermometer in the cup of water to find the volume. D. Alice can look at the cup of water and estimate the volume.

Answer 1

Answer: A. Alice can pour the water into a graduated cylinder to find the volume

Explanation: If you put water into a graduated cylinder, you get accurate numbers. This helps with the equation because estimating isn't always the best way to go. Putting a ruler in the water wont help because you don't know what number the water started at before the displacement. The thermometer won't work either because that is used for temperature.
