20.2 mL

Explanation:

45.8 - 25.6 as 45.8 was the mass with the water from the test tube added

Answer : The volume of water in the test tube is 20.2 mL

Explanation : Given,

Volume of water in graduated cylinder = 25.6 mL

Volume of graduated cylinder = 100 mL

Volume of water after adding full test tube of water = 45.8 mL

Now we have to calculate the volume of water in the test tube.

Volume of water in the test tube = Volume of water after adding full test tube of water - Volume of water in graduated cylinder

Volume of water in the test tube = 45.8 mL - 25.6 mL

Volume of water in the test tube = 20.2 mL

Therefore, the volume of water in the test tube is 20.2 mL
