Question

multiple - choice question
how much liquid is in this 100 ml graduated cylinder?
75 ml
74 ml
71 ml

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the graduated cylinder scale

The graduated cylinder has markings. Each major marking (e.g., 60, 70) is 10 mL apart. The space between 60 - 70 is divided into 10 equal sub - intervals. So each sub - interval is \( \frac{70 - 60}{10}=1\) mL.

Step2: Locate the meniscus

The meniscus (the curved surface of the liquid) is at the 74 mL mark.

Answer:

74 mL
