We’ll talk about about measuring capability. Capability of a container tells us how a lot liquid it may well maintain. We all know that a big vessel can maintain extra liquid than a smaller vessel. So, we are saying that a big vessel has extra capability than the smaller vessel. We are able to measure the capability of a vessel by utilizing one other vessel.

We now have learnt {that a} larger vessels has extra capability than the smaller vessel.

To check, the capability of two vessels we use one other smaller vessel.

allow us to evaluate the capability of a bottle and a jug.

We take a cup and pour water to fill the jug. We word the
variety of instances we poured the water with the cup to fill the jug.

We repeat this to fill the bottle utilizing the identical cup.

On evaluating the variety of instances the cup was used for
filling the bottle and the jug, we are able to say which vessel has extra capability.

Within the above instance, suppose a bottle holds 6 cups and the
jug holds 5 cups, we are able to say that capability of jug is about 5 cups and bottle is
about 6 cups.

There are two jars A and B. Which holds extra water?

To search out out which of the jars holds extra water, we pour water from each the jars into an identical containers. Water from Jar A fills one glass. Water from Jar B fills two glasses. So Jar B can maintain extra water than Jar A. Thus, Jar B has extra capability than Jar A.

A tablespoon has extra capability than a teaspoon. Allow us to confirm this.

We discover that 3 teaspoonful of water fills 1 tablespoon.

It takes 2 tablespoonful of water to fill the beaker as much as 10 mark.
How a lot water is required to fill the beaker as much as 40 mark?

_____ tablespoons

Litre and Millilitre

If we carry out the identical exercise utilizing one other vessel, we
will get totally different reply. Subsequently, we have to use normal measures to search out
the capability of a vessel. The usual unit of measuring capability is the litre,
we write ‘l’ for litre. Litre is used to measure capability of bigger containers
like bucket or a tub.

Smaller portions of liquids are measured in millitres, we
write ml for millilitres.

1 litre = 1000 millilitres. If capability of a bucket is 10
litres it’s written as 10 l.

If capability of a small bottle is 100 millilitres it’s
written as 100 ml.

The milkman measures milk in liters. Petrol is given in liters. Mobil oil is offered in liters. Two milk bottles comprise 1 liter of milk. One milk bottle incorporates half liter.

The unit for measuring liquids is a liter. Small portions
of a liquid equivalent to medication are measured in milliliters.

1 liter = 1000 milliliters

               or

1000 milliliters = 1 liter

The quick manner of writing liter is ‘l’ and milliliter is
‘ml’. So we are able to write briefly as;

1 l = 1000 ml

        or

1000 ml = 1 l

The milkman makes use of several types of cans to measure the milk like 1 l, 500 ml, 200 ml, 100 ml, 50 ml, and so on.

Numerous sorts of measuring jars are used to measure
totally different liquids.

Some are given beneath.

Liquids like water, milk and oil are often measured utilizing measuring cans.

The unit of capability is litre. We write ℓ for litre.

Millilitre is a unit for measuring smaller quantities. We write me for millilitre.

The jug incorporates _____ litres of water.

The glass incorporates _____ millilitres of water.

A millilitre is a smaller measure than a litre.

Bear in mind:

Capability of a container is the quantity it may well maintain.
