Let's solve the problem step by step.
We are given 8 graduated cylinders, each marked in milliliters (mL), and we need to read the volume of liquid in each one. The key is to
read the bottom of the meniscus (the curved surface of the liquid) at eye level.
Each cylinder has markings from 0 to 25 mL, with major lines every 5 mL and smaller lines in between representing 1 mL increments.

Step-by-step readings:
####
1.
- The liquid reaches the
20 mL mark.
-
✔ Reading:
20 mL
####
2.
- The liquid is just below 10 mL. It's at the
7 mL mark.
-
✔ Reading:
7 mL
####
3.
- The liquid is exactly at the
10 mL mark.
-
✔ Reading:
10 mL
####
4.
- The liquid is slightly above 10 mL. It’s at the
12 mL mark.
-
✔ Reading:
12 mL
####
5.
- The liquid is at the
17 mL mark.
-
✔ Reading:
17 mL
####
6.
- The liquid is at the
16 mL mark.
-
✔ Reading:
16 mL
####
7.
- The liquid is at the
4 mL mark.
-
✔ Reading:
4 mL
####
8.
- The liquid is at the
14 mL mark.
-
✔ Reading:
14 mL
