Question

Mary put 30 mL of water into a graduated cylinder. After adding a solid object, the water level in the cylinder rose to 65 mL. What is the volume of the object

Answer 1

subtract the starting water level from the end water level to find the volume of the object so 65 ml - 30 ml =35 ml or 35cm cubed

Answer 2

65ml (final volume) - 30 ml (initial volume) = 35 ml of the object
