In science class, Jada uses a graduated cylinder with water in it to measure the volume of some marbles. After dropping in 4 marbles so they are all under water, the water in the cylinder is at a height of 10 milliliters. After dropping in 6 marbles so they are all under water, the water in the cylinder is at a height of 11 milliliters.
a. What is the volume of 1 marble?
b. How much water was in the cylinder before
any marbles were dropped in?
c. What should be the height of the water after
13 marbles are dropped in?
d. Is the relationship between volume of water
and number of marbles a linear relationship? If so, what does the slope of a line representing this relationship mean? If not, explain your reasoning.
