Let's read each graduated cylinder carefully and determine the volume of liquid in each, making sure to
read at the bottom of the meniscus (the curved surface of the liquid). We'll include the unit
mL in each answer.
---
Cylinder A
- The scale goes from 0 to 50 mL.
- Each major mark is 5 mL apart (e.g., 30, 35, 40...).
- Between 35 and 40, there are 5 small marks → each small mark = 1 mL.
- The liquid level is at
36 mL (just above 35, one mark up).
✔ Answer: 36 mL
---
Cylinder B
- Scale from 0 to 50 mL.
- Major marks every 10 mL.
- Between 30 and 40, there are 10 small marks → each = 1 mL.
- The liquid is just below 35 mL, at the
34 mL mark.
✔ Answer: 34 mL
---
Cylinder C
- Scale from 0 to 500 mL.
- Major marks every 100 mL.
- Between 0 and 100, there are 10 large marks → each = 10 mL.
- Between 0 and 10, there are 10 small marks → each = 1 mL.
- The liquid is at the
50 mL mark.
✔ Answer: 50 mL
---
Cylinder D
- Scale from 0 to 100 mL.
- Major marks every 25 mL (25, 50, 75, 100).
- Between 50 and 75, there are 5 marks → each = 5 mL.
- The liquid is between 60 and 65, but closer to 60. It’s at
60 mL.
Wait — let's check:
- From 50 to 75: 5 divisions → each = 5 mL → so marks at 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75.
- The liquid is at the
60 mL line.
✔ Answer: 60 mL
---
Cylinder E
- Scale from 1 to 3 mL.
- Major marks at 1, 2, 3.
- Between 2 and 3, there are 10 small marks → each = 0.1 mL.
- The liquid is just above 2 mL, at the
2.4 mL mark (4 small marks above 2).
✔ Answer: 2.4 mL
---
✔ Final Answers:
-
A: 36 mL
-
B: 34 mL
-
C: 50 mL
-
D: 60 mL
-
E: 2.4 mL
