Capacity Measurement Conversions
At a dinosaur dig, the team measures water for cleaning fossils and running equipment. Use 1 L = 1,000 mL. Convert carefully, show working where asked, and include units in your answers.
Decode the field labels
Tui finds three containers labelled 0.8 L, 1.6 L and 2,400 mL.
1.Convert the 0.8 L container’s capacity to millilitres.
2.Convert the 1,250 mL jug capacity to litres.
3.The 2,400 mL container is filled to half its capacity. How much water is in it, in millilitres?
Pack the washing station
Rawiri needs 3.6 L of water to gently wash a fossil. His measuring jug holds 450 mL.
4.How many full 450 mL jugfuls make exactly 3.6 L? Show or describe the conversion and calculation.
5.Charlotte has 2.75 L of clean water. She uses 680 mL. How much water remains? Give your answer in both millilitres and litres.
6.A pump transfers 1.35 L each minute. How many millilitres does it transfer in 4 minutes?
Check the supply crates
The team compares mixed-unit containers before loading the supply cart.
7.Which holds more: 2.45 L or 2,405 mL? Choose one and state the difference.
- 2.45 L, by 45 mL
- 2,405 mL, by 45 mL
- They hold the same amount
8.Arrange these capacities from smallest to largest: 0.95 L, 1,020 mL, 1.2 L, 875 mL.
9.A water tank contains 12.5 L. The crew uses 3,750 mL. How many litres are left?
10.A label says 0.064 L. Write this capacity in millilitres and explain why millilitres are the more useful unit for reading it.
11.The team has three 1.5 L bottles and one 750 mL bottle. They need at least 5 L. Is there enough? Calculate the total and state how much more is needed, if any.
