Question 1. Estimate how much liquid each object can hold. (Hint: 500 ml, 100 ml, 50 ml, 25 ml, 20l)
(i) Can hold (l/ml) ________ of Milk.
(ii) Can hold (l/ml) ________ of Water.
(iii) Can hold (l/ml) ________ of Syrup.
(iv) Can hold (l/ml) ________ of Ink.
(v) Can hold (l/ml) ________ of Water.
Answer:
(i) A glass can hold about 50 ml of milk. This is a small amount, like a serving for one person.
(ii) A bottle of water can hold about 500 ml. This is a common size for drinking water bottles.
(iii) A small bottle of syrup can hold about 100 ml. Syrups are often used in smaller quantities.
(iv) A small bottle for ink can hold about 25 ml. Ink is used in very small amounts.
(v) A large bucket can hold about 20 l of water. This is a big amount, useful for carrying or storing water.
In simple words: We estimate how much liquid different containers can hold. Milk in a glass is 50 ml, a water bottle is 500 ml, syrup is 100 ml, ink is 25 ml, and a large water bucket is 20 l.

🎯 Exam Tip: Remember to use milliliters (ml) for small amounts of liquid and liters (l) for larger amounts. Always think about the size of the object to choose the most suitable unit for its capacity.
