A student observed a graduated cylinder with a volume of 600mL. After placing a large rock in the graduated cylinder the student observed a volume of 740mL. What is the volume of the large rock?
1340mL
740mL
104mL
140mL
The volume of the rock is:
740mL - 600mL = 140mL
So the correct answer is option D, 140mL.
To find the volume of the large rock, we need to subtract the initial volume (600 mL) from the final volume (740 mL).
Final volume - Initial volume = Volume of the rock
740 mL - 600 mL = 140 mL
Therefore, the volume of the large rock is 140 mL.
