Measuring and Comparing Volume of Liquid

Measuring Volume of Liquid

1. To measure volume of liquid. Firstly we have to know that the units used in volume of liquid.

i. millilitre - (ml)
ii. litre - (l)
iii. 1000 ml = 1 litre

2. The capacity of liquid in a container is the volume of liquid in that container.
3. For example: A container of 1 litre holds 300 ml of water, so, the volume of liquid in the container is 300 ml not 1000 ml.
4. Volume of liquid can be measured by looking at the measuring mark on a container.
5. Meausure the volume of liquid in container a.




Container a holds 800 ml of water.

6. Now, measure the volume of water in container b.



Container b holds 600 ml


Comparing volume of liquid

1. When we want to compare between two volume of liquids, we have to look at both of the containers a and b.
2. The volume of liquid can be compared in ml and l.


3. Container a holds 800 ml and container b holds 600 ml.
4. Container a holds more water than container b.
