To solve this problem, we need to look at how much water is in each graduated cylinder (the tall glass tubes) and order them from the highest amount to the lowest amount.
Step 1: Read the measurements
Let's look at each cylinder from left to right and count the lines to see how many milliliters (ml) of water are in each one. The lines go up by 10s (10, 20, 30...).
1.
First cylinder (far left): The water level is at the line labeled
60.
2.
Second cylinder: The water level is at the line labeled
40.
3.
Third cylinder: The water level is at the line labeled
80.
4.
Fourth cylinder: The water level is at the line labeled
90.
5.
Fifth cylinder: The water level is at the line labeled
30.
6.
Sixth cylinder (far right): The water level is at the line labeled
50.
So, the amounts are:
60, 40, 80, 90, 30, 50.
Step 2: Order from most to least
Now we arrange these numbers starting with the biggest number and ending with the smallest number.
* The biggest number is
90 (4th cylinder).
* The next biggest is
80 (3rd cylinder).
* The next is
60 (1st cylinder).
* The next is
50 (6th cylinder).
* The next is
40 (2nd cylinder).
* The smallest number is
30 (5th cylinder).
Final Answer:
The correct order from most to least is:
90, 80, 60, 50, 40, 30
