Water in a jar rises from 400 mL to 550 mL when a stone sinks in. The stone's volume is?
A550 cm3
B150 cm3
C950 cm3
D400 cm3
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. 150 cm3
1. The stone pushes away water equal to its own volume.
2. Rise in level = 550 - 400 = 150 mL.
3. 150 mL is 150 cm3, since 1 mL = 1 cm3.
