Question

what is the volume of liquid in this graduated cylinder?
2.7
2.75
2.65
2.6

Explanation:

Step1: Identify scale interval

The interval between 1 and 2, and 2 and 3 is divided into 10 - equal parts. Each small - scale division represents 0.1.

Step2: Locate the meniscus

The bottom of the meniscus (the curved surface of the liquid) is between 2.6 and 2.7, and it is 5 small - scale divisions above 2.6.

Step3: Determine the volume

Since each small - scale division is 0.1, 5 small - scale divisions above 2.6 gives a volume of 2.65.

Answer:

2.65
