METRIC CAPACITY UNITS

GRADE 3


Hello, How are you doing?Today, we are going to start a new lesson on

Capacity.


CapacityA measure of dry or liquid volume of a

container.

Example – The capacity of milk container is 1 liter.


Metric Units of CapacityThere are two metric units of capacity.

Liter (L) Milliliter (ml)

1 liter = 1,000 milliliter


ExamplesLiter is larger unit than milliliter.

Example Water in bottle is measured in liter (L) The medicine in dropper is measured in milliliter

(ml)


Conversion Liter can be changed to milliliter by

multiplying with 1,000.

5L = 5 x 1,000 = 5,000 ml


Conversion

Milliliter (ml) can be changed to Liter (l) by dividing with 1,000.

500 ml = 500/1000 = ½ = 0.5 L


Single serving of milk from milk box is measured in -----.a) Literb) Milliliterc) None of the above
