Question

A nugget of gold is placed in a graduated cylinder that contains 80 mL of water. The water level rises to 225 mL after the nugget is added to the cylinder. What is the volume of the gold nugget?

Answer 1

Answer:

145 mL

Explanation:

The volume of the nugget can be found by using the formula

volume of object = final volume of water - initial volume of water

From the question

final volume of water = 225 mL

initial volume = 80 mL

We have

volume = 225 - 80 = 145 mL

We have the final answer as

145 mL
