4. Convert these capacity measurements:

a) 2.5 litres = _______ millilitres

b) 750 mL = _______ litres

c) 1500 mL = _______ litres

d) 0.25 L = _______ millilitres

5. Circle the most appropriate unit for measuring each container's capacity:

Swimming pool: millilitres (mL) or litres (L)

Medicine spoon: millilitres (mL) or litres (L)

Water bottle: millilitres (mL) or litres (L)

Bathtub: millilitres (mL) or litres (L)

6. A fish tank measures 40 cm × 25 cm × 30 cm. Calculate its capacity in litres.

Hint: 1000 cm³ = 1 litre
