Question 32
Easy

A student measures the volume of an irregular decorative stone using a measuring cylinder, as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Two identical measuring cylinders. Cylinder A contains water only, with the meniscus level exactly at the 250 ml mark on a scale graduated in 50 ml intervals. Cylinder B contains the same water with a submerged decorative stone, and the meniscus is now halfway between the 400 ml and 450 ml marks, estimated at 425 ml.

Using Figure 1, estimate the volume of the decorative stone in cm3\text{cm}^3cm3.

Assume that 1 ml=1 cm31\text{ ml} = 1\text{ cm}^31 ml=1 cm3.
