Capacity Through Cultural Baking
Aroha and Hemi are preparing batches of rēwena-style bread and fruit drink for a community stall. Use millilitres (mL) and litres (L) to solve their capacity challenges. Remember: 1 L = 1,000 mL. Show your thinking where you can.
Get the measures ready
The team checks their recipe and equipment before mixing.
1.Which unit is most suitable for measuring the milk needed for one small batch: millilitres or kilometres? Explain your choice.
2.A recipe needs 0.65 L of milk. Which jug has enough capacity without overflowing?
- A 500 mL jug
- A 750 mL jug
- A 600 mL jug
- A 250 mL cup
3.Aroha pours 3 cups of water into a bowl. Each cup holds 250 mL. How many millilitres of water does she pour altogether?
Scale the recipe
The first batch is popular, so the team adjusts the quantities.
4.One batch uses 400 mL of milk. How much milk is needed for 3 batches?
5.A fruit drink recipe uses 1.5 L of water. Hemi makes half a recipe. How many millilitres of water does he use?
6.The original mix needs 0.5 L of water and 300 mL of fruit juice. Complete the amounts for a double batch: water = mL; fruit juice = mL.
Compare and combine capacities
The stall needs enough drink for everyone, with no guesswork.
7.Put these capacities in order from smallest to largest: 1.25 L, 900 mL, 2 L, 1,050 mL.
8.The team has a 2 L jug filled to 1.35 L. How many more millilitres can they pour in before it is full?
9.True or false? Four 250 mL cups hold exactly the same amount as one 1 L bottle. Explain briefly.
10.For the stall, Aroha needs 1.2 L of fruit drink and Hemi needs 850 mL. How much drink do they need altogether? Give your answer in litres and millilitres.
11.A 3 L container of drink is shared equally between 6 tables. How many millilitres of drink does each table get?
