Let’s go step by step to solve this worksheet.
We are working with measuring cans that show liters (L). Each can has markings from 0 to 10, and we need to either:
- Read how much liquid is in the can (top part), or
- Shade the can to show a given amount (bottom part).
---
Part 1: Write the reading indicated on each measuring can.
Look at each can — the brown liquid fills up to a certain line. We read the number at the top of the liquid level.
1) Liquid goes up to
5 → Answer:
5 L
2) Liquid goes up to
7 → Answer:
7 L
3) Liquid goes up to
4 → Answer:
4 L
4) Liquid goes up to
8 → Answer:
8 L
5) Liquid goes up to
9 → Answer:
9 L
6) Liquid goes up to
6 → Answer:
6 L
✔ Double-check: All these match the lines shown — no tricks here!

Part 2: Shade the cans up to the given measures.
Now we do the opposite — we’re told how many liters to shade, so we fill the can up to that number.
1)
9.5 L → That’s halfway between 9 and 10. So shade up to the middle of 9 and 10.
2)
3.6 L → Between 3 and 4. Since 0.6 is more than half, shade a bit above the middle of 3 and 4.
- Think: 3.5 would be exactly halfway. 3.6 is just a tiny bit higher.
3)
8 L → Easy! Just shade all the way up to the line marked “8”.
4)
2.8 L → Between 2 and 3. 0.8 is close to 3, so shade almost to 3 — about 80% of the way from 2 to 3.
5)
6.2 L → Between 6 and 7. 0.2 is small, so shade just a little above 6 — about 20% of the way to 7.
6)
1.4 L → Between 1 and 2. 0.4 is less than half, so shade a bit below the middle of 1 and 2.
💡 Tip: Imagine each space between numbers (like 1 to 2) is divided into 10 equal parts. Then:
- 0.1 = one small step
- 0.5 = halfway
- 0.9 = almost to the next number
So for example:
- 3.6 = 3 + 6 steps toward 4
- 2.8 = 2 + 8 steps toward 3
- etc.
You don’t have to draw perfect lines — just get close based on the decimal.

Final Answer:
Part 1: Readings
1) 5 L
2) 7 L
3) 4 L
4) 8 L
5) 9 L
6) 6 L
Part 2: Shading Instructions (describe where to shade)
1) Shade up to halfway between 9 and 10
2) Shade up to 6/10 of the way from 3 to 4
3) Shade up to 8
4) Shade up to 8/10 of the way from 2 to 3
5) Shade up to 2/10 of the way from 6 to 7
6) Shade up to 4/10 of the way from 1 to 2
