Problem 1: Bill and Sam poured equal amounts of water into this graduated cylinder.

Image Description:
There is a graduated cylinder with water up to the 50 mL mark. It says that Bill and Sam each poured an equal amount of water, so together they made 50 mL.

We need to find out how much each person added.

#### Step-by-step:
- Total volume = 50 mL
- They added equal amounts → So divide total by 2:
$$
\frac{50}{2} = 25 \text{ mL}
$$

✔ Answer: Each added 25 mL.

Problem 2: Jennifer adds 37 mL of water to her graduated cylinder. What is the volume now?

Image Description:
Jennifer’s graduated cylinder shows 40 mL of water initially.

She adds 37 mL more.

#### Step-by-step:
- Initial volume = 40 mL
- Added = 37 mL
- New volume = 40 + 37 = 77 mL

✔ Answer: The volume now is 77 mL.

Problem 3: Kelly has two graduated cylinders (A and B). She pours 12 mL from A into B.

Image Description:
- Cylinder A: Water level at 60 mL
- Cylinder B: Water level at 20 mL

Then, Kelly pours 12 mL from A to B.

#### Part a: What is the volume in cylinder A after pouring?
- Original in A = 60 mL
- Pour out 12 mL → 60 - 12 = 48 mL

✔ Answer for A: 48 mL

#### Part b: What is the volume in cylinder B after pouring?
- Original in B = 20 mL
- Add 12 mL → 20 + 12 = 32 mL

✔ Answer for B: 32 mL

Problem 4: Jay has two graduated cylinders. What is the combined volume?

Image Description:
- First cylinder: Water level at 50 mL
- Second cylinder: Water level at 25 mL

#### Step-by-step:
- Combined volume = 50 + 25 = 75 mL

✔ Answer: The combined volume is 75 mL

✔ Final Answers:

1. Bill and Sam each added: 25 mL
2. Jennifer’s new volume: 77 mL
3. After pouring:
- Cylinder A: 48 mL
- Cylinder B: 32 mL
4. Jay’s combined volume: 75 mL
