    Ramu is a milkman. One morning, he was busy pouring milk into containers of
                       different sizes. Some containers were big, while some were very small. Have you
                       ever thought  about  how milk  is measured  in different containers?  Look  at the

                       containers shown below and guess which ones can hold milk in litres and which
                       ones in millilitres.

                    The amount  of liquid  that  can be  held in a container  is  called  the  capacity  of the

                    container. A container's capacity depends on its shape and size.
