Question

You are cooking a recipe and it calls for 1/4 a cup of milk. You get your measuring cup out, pour the milk into the

1/4 cup measuring cup, and pour the milk into a mixing bowl.
Does the milk's volume (amount) change from when it was in the measuring cup to the mixing bowl? Answer in a
complete sentence and explain why the volume does or does not change.

Answer 1

No

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the milk in the measuring cup does not change when it is transferred to the mixing bowl.

Volume is the amount of space a body or substance occupies.

It is determined by the amount of matter that is present within a given measurement.

Since the amount of milk was accurately measured out, the volume is maintained when it is transferred to the mixing bowl. The reason why a measuring cup is used is to keep the consistency of the measurement.
