Volume of a cube in cm³, on a scale marked every 2 cm³

An example figure from the Volume by Displacement generator.

Two 100 cm³ graduated cylinders marked every 2 cm³: water at 46.0 cm³ before, and at 61.0 cm³ after a cube is added — Two 100 cm³ graduated cylinders, marked every 2 cm³ and numbered every 20 cm³, so students first work out what each mark is worth. Before, the water is at 46.0 cm³; after a cube is dropped in, it is halfway between the 60 and 62 cm³ marks, at 61.0 cm³. The cube’s volume is 15.0 cm³.
