Question

an object is is placed into 45 ml of water. the water rises to 48 ml. what is the volume of the object? 93ml 8 ml 3 ml 83 ml

Explanation:

Step1: Understand displacement method

The volume of the object is equal to the volume of water displaced, which is the difference between the final volume of water and the initial volume.

Step2: Calculate the volume difference

Initial volume of water: $45\space mL$
Final volume of water: $48\space mL$
Volume of object = Final volume - Initial volume = $48 - 45 = 3\space mL$

Answer:

3 mL (corresponding to the orange option: 3 mL)
