B)the water level in the glass has decreased in such a way that you can add another 12 cm³ of water without the glass overflowing. C)the water level will remain at exactly the same level,and no water will flow over. D)a total of 12 cm³ of the water will overflow. E)a total of 85 cm³ of the water will overflow.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total volume of water and ice in the glass is 155 + 85 = 240 cm³, which fills the glass up to the rim. When the ice melts, it turns into water and adds an additional 85 cm³ of water to the glass, bringing the total water level to 240 + 85 = 325 cm³. However, since the glass was already filled up to the rim with 240 cm³ of water, there is no additional space for the extra 85 cm³ of water. Therefore, the water level will remain exactly the same, and no water will flow over. Choice C is the correct answer.
