Question

This graduated cylinder is being used to measure an amount of a liquid. The numbers represent milliliters. What is the most precise measurement of the volume of this liquid?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct alternative is Option B (36.5 ml).

Explanation:

The figure and the options of the query is not given. Below is the attachment given.

According to the question,

Higher reading,

= 40

Lower reading,

= 35

Now,

The increment will be:

= $\frac{Higher \ reading-Lower \ reading}{Number \ of \ increments}$

= $\frac{40-35}{5}$

= $\frac{5}{5}$

= $1$

The reading will be above 36 and below 37. Thus,

The precise measurement will be:

= $36.5 \ ml$
