Volume and Capacity Measurement

A community group is preparing kai and drinks for a day trip. Help plan the supplies by working with volume and capacity. Show calculations where useful. Remember: 1 L = 1,000 mL and 1 cm³ = 1 mL.

Know your measurements

Volume describes the space an object takes up. Capacity describes how much a container can hold.

1.A water tank can hold 2,400 L when full. Is 2,400 L its volume or its capacity? Explain what the measurement tells you.

2.Match each job with the most suitable unit: measuring a medicine dose; describing a chilly bin's capacity; finding the volume of a small solid block.

Medicine dose
Chilly bin capacity
Solid block volume

L
cm³
mL

Prepare the drink station

The group is mixing fruit drink and packing reusable bottles.

3.Convert these amounts: (a) 3.2 L to mL; (b) 475 mL to L; (c) 1,050 mL to L.

4.A recipe uses 0.65 L of water and 350 mL of concentrate. What is the total mixture volume in millilitres?

5.The dispenser holds 8 L. The group has filled seven bottles with 750 mL each. How much drink remains, in litres?

6.Which is the most sensible estimate for the capacity of a household kitchen sink: 12 mL, 12 L, or 12,000 L? Give one reason.

Pack and solve

Use the container measurements below to check the equipment plan.

Tub A 30 cm × 20 cm × 15 cm

Tub B 40 cm × 25 cm × 20 cm

Tub C 25 cm × 20 cm × 10 cm

7.Calculate the volume of Tub A in cm³. Use length × width × height.

8.A container's internal dimensions are 40 cm × 25 cm × 20 cm. What is its volume in cm³, and what is that volume in litres?

9.The group needs a tub with at least 10 L capacity for dry supplies. Compare Tub A (9 L), Tub B (20 L) and Tub C (5 L). Which tubs are large enough?

10.A half-full 24 L water container is topped up with another 7.5 L. How much water is in it now? State whether it will overflow.
