                  Measuring CaPaCity

                  The quantity of a liquid that a container or vessel can hold is called its capacity or volume.

                  Vessels of different sizes used to measure different quantities of liquid are shown below.

                                                                                      Project
                                                                                 Ask your parents about the amount
                                                                                 of milk  your family  consumes  in  a

                  A vessel marked with scales can also be used to measure quantities of liquid.

                                    mL                     mL                     mL                     mL

                  units of Measuring Capacity

                  Litre and millilitre are standard units of capacity.

                                       Millilitre                                             Litre
                       •  Small quantities of liquids are measured   •      Large quantities of liquids are measured

                        in millilitre.                                      in litres.
                       •  It is denoted by 'mL'.                           •  It is denoted by 'L'.
