Volume and Capacity Stations

Manaia and Harrison are setting up a school radio station broadcast. Solve each station challenge using 1 L = 1,000 mL. Show your working where asked; include units in every answer.

Station 1: Set up the drinks table

Use the information in each question to answer Questions 1–2.

1.A jug contains 750 mL of water. How much more water is needed to reach 1 L?

2.Finn pours the jug’s 750 mL equally into five identical cups. How much water goes into each cup?

Station 2: Decode the supply labels

Match each amount in litres with its equivalent in millilitres.

3.Match each measurement to its equivalent: 2.4 L, 0.85 L, 1.06 L, 3.5 L. Options: A 850 mL; B 3,500 mL; C 2,400 mL; D 1,060 mL.

2.4 L
0.85 L
1.06 L
3.5 L

850 mL
3,500 mL
1,060 mL
2,400 mL

4.Harrison finds a bottle labelled 1,350 mL. Write this capacity in litres.

Station 3: Plan the broadcast

The crew needs to combine, share and compare liquid supplies.

5.Manaia pours 2.35 L of water into a dispenser, then adds 1,800 mL. What is the total volume in litres? Show your conversion and calculation.

6.The dispenser holds 5 L. After filling it with 4.15 L, how much more can it hold? Give your answer in millilitres.

7.The crew has 6 L of juice and fills as many 300 mL cups as possible. How many full cups can they fill?

8.Two containers hold 3.75 L and 3,900 mL. Which holds more, and by how much?

Station 4: Solve the mystery tank

A tank begins with 8.5 L. The crew uses 2.75 L during the show, then pours in another 1.2 L.

9.How much liquid is in the tank at the end? Show your calculation.

10.The tank’s capacity is 10 L. How many millilitres of empty space remain?

11.True or false: 0.6 L is greater than 590 mL. Explain by converting to the same unit.

12.Finn needs exactly 2.5 L for a sound-effects experiment. He has one 1 L bottle and three 500 mL bottles. Does he have enough? If so, how much is left over?
