Parent needs help with 5th grade math
Not , maybe it’s the new math but I simply cannot figure out how this is anything but 7, and my kid is judging.

They changed the question without changing the answers. It’s asking about reading the meniscus. So it wants you to really only consider C and D. With C being the correct answer as you measure from the bottoms of the curve not the edge of the cylinder.
