10mL. Take the new volume (25 because it started at 15 and went up 10) and subtract the original (15)

Kianna Bush · Answer 2

The answer is 10 mL

Explanation:

The volume of the stone is defined as the difference between the final volume and the initial volume:

Vrock = Vfinal - Vinitial

Vrock = ?

Vfinal = 15 + 10 = 25 mL

Vinitial = 15 mL

replacing values:

Vrock = 25 - 15 = 10 mL
