CONTENT OF THE LESSON 

LESSON 1 – REVISION ON PREVIOUS LESSON 

ACTIVITY 1 – CONCEPTS OF CAPACITY 

Capacity is the amount of liquid in a container. 

It is the measure of the amount or volume of liquid in a container.

The basic units of measurement of capacity are milliliter (mℓ) and liter (ℓ).

The standard unit of measuring capacity is the liter (ℓ).

Small amount of liquid is measured in milliliter (mℓ) while large amount is measured in liter (ℓ).

It is equal to a thousandth of a liter, that’s, 1 ℓ = 1000 mℓ.

The relationship between milliliter (mℓ) and liter (ℓ) is,

1 000 mℓ = 1 ℓ

 

ACTIVITY 2 – CONVERSION OF mℓ TO ℓ

Working Example 1 

Convert 5 000 mℓ to litres.

1st, divide the number of millilitres by 1 000,

5 000 ÷ 1 000 = 5

2nd, change the unit to litres,

5 000 mℓ = 5 ℓ

Working Example 2 

Convert 3 765 mℓ to litres.

1st, divide the number of millilitres by 1 000,

3 756 ÷ 1 000 = 3.756

2nd, change the unit to liters,

3 756 mℓ = 3.756 ℓ

Or

3 l 756 mℓ

Working Example 3

Convert 167 mℓ to litres.

1st, divide the number of millilitres by 1 000,

167 ÷ 1 000 = 0.167

2nd, change the unit to litres,

167 mℓ = 0.167 ℓ

Working Example 4

Convert 13 g to litres.

1st, divide the number of millilitres by 1 000,

13 ÷ 1 000 = 0.013

2nd, change the unit to litres,

13 mℓ = 0.013 ℓ

Working Example 5

Convert 9 g to litres.

1st, divide the number of millilitres by 1 000,

9 ÷ 1 000 = 0.009

2nd, change the unit to litres,

9 mℓ = 0.009 ℓ

WORKING EXERCISES/ASSIGNMENT 

Covert the following to millilitres,

1. 0.9 ℓ

2. 135 ℓ

3. 0.048 ℓ

4. 8 787 ℓ

5. 1.25 ℓ

SOLUTIONS

1. 0.9 mℓ = 0.9 x 1 000 = 0.0009 ℓ

2. 135 mℓ = 135 x 1 000 = 0.135 ℓ

3. 0.048 mℓ = 0.048 x 1 000 = 0.00048 ℓ

4. 8 787 mℓ = 8 787 x 1 000 = 8.787 ℓ

5. 1.25 mℓ = 1.25 x 1 000 = 0.00125 ℓ

ACTIVITY 4 – CONVERSION OF ℓ AND mℓ

Working Example 1

Convert 9 ℓ to millilitres.

1st, multiply the number of ℓ by 1 000,

9 x 1 000 = 9 000

2nd, change the unit of millilitres

9 ℓ = 9 000 mℓ

Working Example 2

Convert 1.5 ℓ to millilitres.

1st, multiply the number of ℓ by 1 000,

1.5 x 1 000 = 1 500

2nd, change the unit of millilitres

1.5 ℓ = 1 500 mℓ

Working Example 3

Convert 0.73 ℓ to millilitres.

1st, multiply the number of ℓ by 1 000,

0.73 x 1 000 = 730

2nd, change the unit of milliliters

0.73 ℓ = 730 mℓ

Working Example 4

Convert 5 ℓ 7 ℓ to millilitres.

1st, multiply the number of ℓ by 1 000,

5 x 1 000 + 7 = 5 007

2nd, change the unit of millilitres

5 ℓ 7 mℓ = 5 007 mℓ

WORKING EXERCISES/ASSIGNMENT 

Complete the following:

1. 7 368 g = ________ ℓ

2. 9.515 kg = ________ mℓ

3. 1.2 g = ________ ℓ

4. 1 kg 98 g = ________ ℓ

5. 1 ℓ 98 mℓ = ________ mℓ

LESSON 2 – MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION INVOLVING WEIGHT

ACTIVITY 1 – MULTIPLICATION OF WEIGHT 

WORKING EXAMPLE 

1. 30 ℓ x 5

3 0

x 5

_______

1 5 0

Therefore, 30 ℓ x 5 = 150 ℓ

2. 170 mℓ x 9

1 7 0

x 9

_______

1 5 3 0

Therefore, 170 mℓ x 9 = 1 530 mℓ

3. 12.567 ℓ x 4

12.567

x          4

_______

50.268

Therefore, 12.567 ℓ x 4 = 50.268 ℓ.

4. 31 ℓ 855 mℓ x 5

31 ℓ 855 mℓ

x                 5

_____________

159 ℓ 275 mℓ

Therefore, 31 ℓ 855 mℓ x 5 = 159 ℓ 275 mℓ.

ACTIVITY 2 – DIVISION OF WEIGHT 

WORKING EXAMPLE

1. 4.8 ℓ ÷ 4 

= 4.8/4

= 1.2ℓ

 

2. 8.4 ÷ 6

= 8.4/6

= 1.4 ℓ

3. 7.2  ÷ 9 

= 7.2/9

= 0.8 ℓ

4. 8.0  ÷ 5 

= 8.0/5

= 1.5 ℓ
