                  Comparing CapaCiTiEs

                  We use the words ‘more’ and ‘less’ to compare the capacities of containers.

                  Look at the following vessels.

                  Which contains more water? _________

                  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.

                  mug. That means, a bigger container
                  has more capacity than a smaller one.

                  Look at the following containers. Both

                  the containers are filled with water.

                  Here, the bucket is bigger than the
                  mug.
                                                                     The jug contains more water than the mug.

                                                                                                 Remember
                                                                                         Capacity tells us how much liquid
                                                                                         a container can hold.

                  The bucket can hold more water than a mug. So, the bucket has more capacity than
                  that of a mug.

                           Think and Answer
                         1. Fill in the blanks with ‘more’ or ‘less’.

                            (a)                            (b)                            (c)

                                The  capacity  of a  cup  is   The capacity of a jug is       The  capacity of a  jug is
                                ____ than that of a glass.     ___ than that of a glass.      ___ than that of a bucket.
                         2. Which one among the above containers has the maximum capacity? _____________
