What if the graduated cylinder is in increments of 2 and you want to estimate to one more decimal place? Say the meniscus is between 12 and 14, could you say its 13.1?

[@ryanbleth8366]

What I would ask my students to do in that case would be to divide that increment of 2 into ten smaller parts, giving increments of 0.2. This would allow you to report a measurement like 13.0, 13.2, 13.4, etc. It would need to end in an even number, but would allow you to have that decimal place of precision present.

what are the 6 liquid volume readings?

Is there a particular timestamp you're referring to?
