ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION OF CAPACITIeS
Addition of Capacities
To add the capacities of two or more containers in litres or millilitres, we simply
add the numbers and write down the unit.
Example 1: Add the following.
(a) 63 L + 68 L (b) 486 L + 158 L (c) 178 mL + 556 mL
Solution: (a) 1 1 (b) 1 1 (c) 1 1
6 3 L 4 8 6 L 1 7 8 mL
+ 6 8 L + 1 5 8 L + 5 5 6 mL
1 3 1 L 6 4 4 L 7 3 4 mL
Subtraction of Capacities
To subtract the capacities of two containers, we simply subtract the smaller number
from the bigger number and write down the unit.
Example 2: Subtract the following.
(a) 90 L – 55 L (b) 732 mL – 367 mL
Solution: (a) 8 10 (b) 6 12 12
9 0 L 7 3 2 mL
– 5 5 L – 3 6 7 mL
3 5 L 3 6 5 mL
