practice Time 10B Comparing CapaCiTiEs
We use the words ‘more’ and ‘less’ to compare the capacities of containers.
1. Circle the one that weighs the most. Look at the following vessels.

(a) (b)

Which contains more water? _________
2. Write 'H' for heavier and 'L' for lighter.

(a) (b) (c) Let us do an activity for comparing activity
the capacities of these containers. fill each container full of water. Pour the water

We see that the jug is bigger than the into two identical bottles and then compare.

cup. That means a bigger container
has more capacity than a smaller

mEasUring WEigHTs one. Experiential Learning
Look at the following containers.

To find the weight of an object, we use a balance and some Both the containers are filled with

other objects. water. Here, the bucket is bigger
than the mug. The jug contains more water than the cup.
Look at the balance shown alongside.

On a pan of the balance, there is a watermelon and on the

other pan, there are ten apples. Math Insight
Capacity tells us how much liquid
Both the pans are balanced. So, the weight of the watermelon is equal to 10 apples. a container can hold.

Thus, the bucket can hold more water than the mug. So, the bucket has more
practice Time 10C capacity than that of the mug.
