Question

a graduated cylinder is filled to 41.5 mL with water and a piece of granite is placed in the cylinder, displacing the level to 47.6mL. What is the volume of the granite piece in cubic centimeters.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is

6.1 cm³

Explanation:

To find the volume in cm³ we must first find the volume of the rock .

To find the volume of the rock , subtract the initial volume of water from the final volume of the water when the rock was dropped in it

That's

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume of rock = 47.6 mL - 41.5 mL

= 6.1 mL

Next we use the conversion

1 mL = 1 cm³

If 1 mL = 1 cm³

Then 6.1 mL = 6.1 cm³

Hope this helps you
