2. 12. Capacity 12.1 Units of Capacity
We know that the commonly used of capacity are the litre and the millilitre .
Here are several different shaped litre measures. Each one has the same capacity of 1 litre (verify!)
1000 millilitres (ml) make 1 litre (l).
1 litre
1 litre
1 litre
1 litre
1 litre
1 litre

3. Given below are some measures of greater capacities:
We do have measures of capacity more than 1 litre as well as of capacity less than 1 litre .
Given below are some measures of greater capacities:
2 litres
5 litres
10 litres

4. In our day-to-day life we come across many situations where a small quantity of liquid is to be measured. For this purpose, measures of capacities lesser than 1 litre are also available to us. Some such measures are the following:
1000 ml= 1l

5. 1 measure of 200 ml and 1 measures of 100ml. or
Suppose you want to get 300 ml of milk from a milkman. What measures the milkman would use for measuring 300ml of milk?
1 measure of 200 ml
and
1 measures of 100ml. or
3 measures of 100 ml each

6. 1 measure of 500 ml +1 measure of 200 ml
What measures will he use for measuring 800 ml?
1 measure of 500 ml +1 measure of 200 ml
And
1 measure of 100 ml. Or
4 measures of 200 ml each.
8 measures of 100 ml each.

7. Exercise 12
Decide what would you use, l or ml to measure these quantities:
(a) The ink in your pen
(b) Milk in a cup.
