What Is Volume?

Volume is a measurement of how much space is taken up by a 3 dimensional shape (solid) shape.

Example: a can – a box – a basin – a bottle…

The units used in measuring solid volumes are cubic centimetres and cubic metres.

The units used in measuring liquid volumes are millilitres and litres.

Exercise 1

Litres and Millilitres There are 1000 millilitres (ml) in 1 litre - 1000ml (L) = 1 litres

Examples: 1L = 1000 ml ½ L = 500 ml

Exercise 2

Converting measurement

To covert between millilitres and litres, you multiply or divide the given amount by 1000.

Examples:

3.6 litres = 3600 ml 8930ml = 8.93 litres

Exercise 3

1. Convert the following number of litres to millilitres:a. 6 litres b. 9 litres c. 15 litres d. 30 litrese. 1.2 litres f. 6.3 litres g. 8.9 litres h. 9.1 litres

2. Convert the following number of millilitres to litres:

a. 20000 ml b. 8000 ml c. 6000 ml d. 1000 ml

e. 6400 ml f. 4400 ml g. 7600 ml h. 5400 ml
