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?
a.1340mL
b.740mL
c.104mL
d.140mL
The volume of the rock can be calculated by subtracting the initial volume (600mL) from the final volume (740mL):
740mL - 600mL = 140mL
Therefore, the volume of the large rock is 140mL. Answer: d.
To find the volume of the large rock, we need to subtract the initial volume of the graduated cylinder from the final volume after placing the rock.
Volum of large rock = Final volume - Initial volume
Volum of large rock = 740mL - 600mL
Volum of large rock = 140mL
Therefore, the correct answer is d. 140mL.
