Question

instructions determine the volume indicated on each of the graduated cylinders below. assume that all measure volume in milliliters. 1) each line represents ____ the volume of the liquid is __ 2) each line represents __ the volume of the liquid is __ 3) each line represents __ the volume of the liquid is __ 4) each line represents __ the volume of the liquid is __ 5) each line represents __ the volume of the liquid is __ 6) each line represents __ the volume of the liquid is __ 7) each line represents __ the volume of the liquid is __ 8) each line represents __ the volume of the liquid is __ 9) each line represents __ the volume of the liquid is ____

Explanation:

Step1: Determine scale - for cylinder 1

Count intervals between 50 and 55. There are 5 intervals. So each line represents $\frac{55 - 50}{5}=1$ mL. The meniscus is at 53 mL.

Step2: Determine scale - for cylinder 2

Between 10 and 15, there are 5 intervals. Each line represents $\frac{15 - 10}{5}=1$ mL. The meniscus is at 17 mL.

Step3: Determine scale - for cylinder 3

Between 20 and 30, there are 5 intervals. Each line represents $\frac{30 - 20}{5}=2$ mL. The meniscus is at 34 mL.

Step4: Determine scale - for cylinder 4

Between 20 and 30, there are 5 intervals. Each line represents $\frac{30 - 20}{5}=2$ mL. The meniscus is at 26 mL.

Step5: Determine scale - for cylinder 5

Between 2 and 3, there are 5 intervals. Each line represents $\frac{3 - 2}{5}=0.2$ mL. The meniscus is at 2.6 mL.

Step6: Determine scale - for cylinder 6

Between 30 and 40, there are 5 intervals. Each line represents $\frac{40 - 30}{5}=2$ mL. The meniscus is at 36 mL.

Step7: Determine scale - for cylinder 7

Between 3 and 4, there are 5 intervals. Each line represents $\frac{4 - 3}{5}=0.2$ mL. The meniscus is at 3.6 mL.

Step8: Determine scale - for cylinder 8

Between 70 and 80, there are 5 intervals. Each line represents $\frac{80 - 70}{5}=2$ mL. The meniscus is at 76 mL.

Step9: Determine scale - for cylinder 9

Between 2 and 3, there are 5 intervals. Each line represents $\frac{3 - 2}{5}=0.2$ mL. The meniscus is at 2.4 mL.

Answer:

1. Each line represents 1 mL, the volume of the liquid is 53 mL
2. Each line represents 1 mL, the volume of the liquid is 17 mL
3. Each line represents 2 mL, the volume of the liquid is 34 mL
4. Each line represents 2 mL, the volume of the liquid is 26 mL
5. Each line represents 0.2 mL, the volume of the liquid is 2.6 mL
6. Each line represents 2 mL, the volume of the liquid is 36 mL
7. Each line represents 0.2 mL, the volume of the liquid is 3.6 mL
8. Each line represents 2 mL, the volume of the liquid is 76 mL
9. Each line represents 0.2 mL, the volume of the liquid is 2.4 mL
