Liters And Mililiters Worksheet - Free Printable

Let's solve the task in the image step by step.

Task:

Choose the proper unit of capacity (litre or millilitre) for each object.

We need to match each object with the most appropriate unit of measurement — either litre (L) or millilitre (mL) — based on typical real-world capacities.

Step-by-step Analysis:

1. Milk (carton)
- A standard carton of milk is usually 1 litre or 1000 mL.
- This is a large quantity, so it’s measured in Litres.
✔ Litres

2. Can (soda can)
- A regular soda can holds about 330 mL.
- This is a small amount, so it’s measured in Millilitres.
✔ Millilitres

3. Pitcher (measuring jug)
- A pitcher used for water or juice typically holds around 1–2 litres.
- It's a large container, so Litres is appropriate.
✔ Litres

4. Backpack
- A backpack doesn’t hold liquid, but if we're thinking about how much liquid it could carry (e.g., water bottles), it might hold several litres.
- But since it's not a liquid container, and the context seems to be about capacity of containers, this is likely a trick or error. However, if it's meant to represent a water bottle or hydration pack, then Litres would be correct.
- Assuming it's a hydration pack that holds water, it might hold 1–2 litres.
✔ Litres

5. Hand Soap Dispenser
- A typical hand soap dispenser holds about 250–500 mL.
- This is a small volume, so Millilitres is more suitable.
✔ Millilitres

6. Jug (small glass jug)
- A small jug like the one shown (with orange juice) might hold 1 litre or slightly less.
- Still, it's a common size for Litres.
✔ Litres

7. Large water bottle
- A large water bottle (like a 1.5 L or 2 L bottle) is commonly sold in litres.
✔ Litres

8. Juice box
- A juice box is usually 200 mL or 250 mL.
- Small volume → Millilitres
✔ Millilitres

Final Answers:

| Object | Unit |
|---------------------|-------------|
| Milk | Litre |
| Can | Millilitre |
| Pitcher | Litre |
| Backpack | Litre |
| Hand Soap Dispenser | Millilitre |
| Jug | Litre |
| Large water bottle | Litre |
| Juice box | Millilitre |

✔ Correct Choices:

- Litres: Milk, Pitcher, Backpack, Jug, Large water bottle
- Millilitres: Can, Hand Soap Dispenser, Juice box

> Note: The "Backpack" is ambiguous unless it's a hydration backpack. If it's just a regular backpack, it shouldn't be measured in capacity units. But in the context of this worksheet, it's likely intended as a hydration pack, so Litres is acceptable.
