Question

a graduated cylinder is filled to 15 ml with water and a piece of copper is placed in the cylinder, displacing the level to 19.4 ml. what is the volume of the copper piece in cubic centimeters? ? cm³ record your answer to the tenths place.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the volume of displaced water

The volume of the copper piece is equal to the volume of water displaced. The formula is \(V = V_{final}-V_{initial}\).
\(V = 19.4 - 15\)

Step2: Convert units (since \(1mL = 1cm^{3}\))

The result of \(19.4 - 15=4.4mL\). As \(1mL = 1cm^{3}\), the volume in \(cm^{3}\) is also \(4.4\).

Answer:

\(4.4\)
