Let's solve the problem step by step.

Part 1: Determine how much liquid is in each graduated cylinder (Questions 1–8)
We need to read the volume of liquid in each graduated cylinder. The key is to look at the bottom of the meniscus (the curved surface of the liquid) and align it with the nearest marking on the scale.
Each cylinder has markings in milliliters (mL), and we’ll estimate to the nearest
0.5 mL or
1 mL, depending on the scale.
Let’s go through each one:
---
####
1)
- Scale goes from 0 to 50 mL.
- Markings every 10 mL, with smaller lines between (likely 2 mL increments).
- The liquid level is at
20 mL.
✔ Answer: 20 mL
---
####
2)
- Scale: 0 to 30 mL.
- Markings every 5 mL, with smaller lines (likely 1 mL).
- Liquid level is just below 15 mL — looks like
14 mL.
✔ Answer: 14 mL
---
####
3)
- Scale: 0 to 50 mL.
- Markings every 10 mL, with smaller lines (probably 2 mL).
- Liquid is at
46 mL.
✔ Answer: 46 mL
---
####
4)
- Scale: 0 to 50 mL.
- Markings every 10 mL, with smaller lines (2 mL apart).
- Liquid is at
30 mL.
✔ Answer: 30 mL
---
####
5)
- Scale: 0 to 50 mL.
- Markings every 10 mL, with smaller lines (2 mL).
- Liquid is at
38 mL.
✔ Answer: 38 mL
---
####
6)
- Scale: 0 to 20 mL.
- Markings every 5 mL, with smaller lines (1 mL).
- Liquid is at
15 mL.
✔ Answer: 15 mL
---
####
7)
- Scale: 0 to 20 mL.
- Markings every 5 mL, with smaller lines (1 mL).
- Liquid is at
10 mL.
✔ Answer: 10 mL
---
####
8)
- Scale: 0 to 50 mL.
- Markings every 10 mL, with smaller lines (2 mL).
- Liquid is at
20 mL.
✔ Answer: 20 mL

Part 2: Volume of Objects Placed in Graduated Cylinder (Questions 9 & 10)
We are given a series of images showing an empty graduated cylinder and then the same cylinder with different objects added. We can find the volume of each object using
water displacement:
> Volume of object = Final volume – Initial volume
All cylinders start at
10 mL (empty).
Let’s analyze each:
---
####
A. Battery
- Initial: 10 mL
- Final: 15 mL
- Volume = 15 – 10 =
5 mL
---
####
B. Nail
- Initial: 10 mL
- Final: 18 mL
- Volume = 18 – 10 =
8 mL
---
####
C. Button
- Initial: 10 mL
- Final: 14 mL
- Volume = 14 – 10 =
4 mL
---
####
D. Key
- Initial: 10 mL
- Final: 17 mL
- Volume = 17 – 10 =
7 mL
---
Now answer the questions:
####
9) Which object had the greatest volume?
- Battery: 5 mL
- Nail: 8 mL
- Button: 4 mL
- Key: 7 mL
➡️
Nail has the greatest volume.
✔ Answer: B. nail
---
####
10) Which object had the least volume?
- Button has
4 mL, which is the smallest.
✔ Answer: C. button
---
✔ Final Answers:
1. 20 mL
2. 14 mL
3. 46 mL
4. 30 mL
5. 38 mL
6. 15 mL
7. 10 mL
8. 20 mL
9.
B. nail
10.
