Capacity Estimation Worksheet with Images of Containers

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are given a worksheet titled “Capacity Estimation.” It shows 12 different containers (like bottles, jars, cans, etc.) and asks us to estimate their capacity — meaning how much liquid they can hold — in milliliters (mL) or liters (L).

Since we don’t have real measurements, we must use everyday knowledge to guess reasonable capacities.

Let’s go one by one:

---

Top Row (Examples):

1. Green sponge – Not a container, but if it were holding water, maybe around 50 mL? But since it’s not meant for liquids, perhaps skip or say “not applicable.” However, looking at the layout, it seems like all items are meant to be estimated. Let’s assume it’s a small cup-shaped sponge → ~50 mL.

Wait — actually, looking again: The first row has three examples with answers already filled in? No — actually, the top row is labeled as examples, but no answers are shown. Wait — let me re-read.

Actually, the image shows:

- Top row: 3 items with blank lines under them → these are examples to fill out.
- Then 3 rows of 4 boxes each → total 12 items to estimate.

But wait — counting:

Row 1: 3 items
Rows 2–4: 4 items each → 3 × 4 = 12
Total = 15 items? That doesn’t match typical worksheets.

Wait — perhaps the top row is just header/examples, and the main grid is 3 rows × 4 columns = 12 items.

Looking carefully:

The worksheet has:

- Title: Capacity Estimation
- Instructions: Estimate the capacity of each object. Write your answer in mL or L.
- Then a grid of 12 objects (3 rows, 4 columns), each with a picture and a line below for writing the answer.

So we need to estimate 12 items.

Let’s list them row by row, left to right:

---

Row 1:

1. Red book-like object → Probably a textbook or notebook. Not a container. But if we imagine it as a box that could hold something… Maybe 500 mL? Or better — think of a small lunchbox → ~750 mL. But books aren’t containers. Hmm. Perhaps it’s a red juice box? Looking at shape — rectangular, flat → likely a juice box → standard size is 200 mL.

→ Let’s say 200 mL

2. Blue bottle lying on side → Looks like a sports drink or water bottle. Standard size is 500 mL or 1 L. Since it’s medium-sized, probably 500 mL

3. Small brown jar with lid → Like a jam jar or spice jar. Small ones are about 100–250 mL. Let’s say 150 mL

4. Clear glass with dark liquid → Drinking glass. Typical glass holds 250 mL. So 250 mL

---

Row 2:

5. Silver bowl or dish → Could be a cereal bowl. Holds about 300–500 mL. Let’s say 400 mL

6. Can with label → Soda can. Standard is 330 mL or 355 mL. We’ll use 330 mL

7. Brown cylindrical container → Maybe a coffee tin or oatmeal container. Medium size → about 500 mL to 1 L. Let’s say 750 mL

8. Red jar with white lid → Like a peanut butter jar. Standard size is 500 g, which is roughly 500 mL (since density close to water). So 500 mL

---

Row 3:

9. White bucket or pail → Small cleaning bucket. Usually holds 5 L or 10 L. This looks small → maybe 5 L

10. Tall white cylinder → Could be a thermos or large water bottle. If tall and narrow, maybe 1 L. Or a paint can? Paint cans are often 1 L or 4 L. Let’s say 1 L

11. Orange can with pull tab → Another soda can? Same as #6 → 330 mL

Wait — but #6 was also a can. Maybe this is a soup can? Soup cans are usually 400 mL. Let’s check: #6 had a blue label, this one orange — possibly different. To vary, let’s say 400 mL

12. Yellow-orange container with handle → Looks like a small pitcher or measuring jug. Common kitchen item → holds about 1 L. So 1 L

---

Now let’s double-check for reasonableness:

- Juice box: 200 mL ✔
- Water bottle: 500 mL ✔
- Jam jar: 150 mL ✔
- Glass: 250 mL ✔
- Bowl: 400 mL ✔
- Soda can: 330 mL ✔
- Coffee tin: 750 mL ✔
- Peanut butter jar: 500 mL ✔
- Bucket: 5 L ✔
- Thermos/paint can: 1 L ✔
- Soup can: 400 mL ✔
- Pitcher: 1 L ✔

All seem realistic for everyday objects.

Note: Some might argue exact values differ, but estimation means close enough based on common sense.

Final Answer:

Here are the estimated capacities for each object (row by row, left to right):

Row 1:
1. 200 mL
2. 500 mL
3. 150 mL
4. 250 mL

Row 2:
5. 400 mL
6. 330 mL
7. 750 mL
8. 500 mL

Row 3:
9. 5 L
10. 1 L
11. 400 mL
12. 1 L
