ACT
The King of Syracuse reportedly requested Archimedes' advice for determining if a crown was made with the appropriate mixture of gold and silver. The problem asks students to find the amount of water displaced in Archimedes' experiment given the relative percentages of silver and gold by volume in the crown. Aligns with G-MG.A.2.
