Liquids like milk, water, petrol, ink, shampoo and cooking oil etc. are measured using different measuring vessels. Some of the measuring vessels are shown beloSTANDARD UNIT OF CAPACITYLet's Understand Conceptual UnderstandingThe standard unit of capacity is litre. The short form of litre is %u2018l%u2019. The smaller quantities of liquids like ink, syrups, medicines, cold drinks and shampoos are measured in millilitres. The short form of millilitres is %u2018ml%u2019.1 litre = 1000 millilitresCapacity is described using a number and a unit. The number tells how many times the unit is repeated. A capacity of 12 l means a litre is repeated 12 times.Large quantities of liquid like petrol, cooking oil etc. are measured in litres (l).Would you use millilitre or litre for the following capacities? Write litre or millilitres in the blanks.1.
