                  A glass and spoon are non-standard units of measuring capacity.

                  Sometimes we also measure the capacity of one larger container in terms of other
                  smaller containers. For example, 1 pot of milk can be poured into 6 glasses. That

                  means the capacity of a pot is the same as the capacity of 6 glasses.

                                                       =

                    l   While taking a bath, fill the bucket/tub with water and count how many
                        times you filled your mug completely.

                    l   Take a cup  of sugar solution  and  fill  the  shells  of an  ice tray. How many shells  are
                        filled with 1 cup of solution?

                  All these give us a rough idea of measurement, not an accurate value.

                  Hence, we use the standard units to measure the capacity of a container.

                  Standard Units of Capacity

                  We measure the quantity of liquid in litres and millilitres.

                                                             1 L = 1000 mL
                  Millilitre

                  To measure small quantities of any liquid, we use millilitres (mL).

                  Litre

                  To measure large quantities of any liquid, we use litres (L).
