Problem Description:
The task is to choose the proper units of capacity (litre or millilitre) for each object shown in the image. The goal is to match the appropriate unit with each item based on its typical volume.
Solution:
#### Step 1: Understand the Units
-
Litre (L): A litre is a larger unit of volume, typically used for measuring larger quantities of liquid.
-
Millilitre (mL): A millilitre is a smaller unit of volume, equal to one-thousandth of a litre, and is used for measuring smaller quantities of liquid.
#### Step 2: Analyze Each Object
We will evaluate each object and determine whether it typically contains a large or small volume of liquid, and thus whether it should be measured in litres or millilitres.
1.
Milk:
- Milk is usually sold in large containers (e.g., 1 L, 2 L).
-
Unit: Litre
2.
Can:
- Cans are typically small containers, often holding beverages like soda or soup.
- A standard can holds about 330 mL.
-
Unit: Millilitre
3.
Pitcher:
- Pitchers are used for serving liquids like water or juice and usually hold a moderate amount (e.g., 1 L or more).
-
Unit: Litre
4.
Backpack:
- Backpacks are not containers for liquids; they are used for carrying items.
- Since this is not a liquid container, it doesn't fit the context of the question.
-
Unit: N/A (but if forced to choose, it would be irrelevant)
5.
Hand Soap Dispenser:
- Hand soap dispensers typically contain a small amount of liquid soap (e.g., 250 mL to 500 mL).
-
Unit: Millilitre
6.
Jug:
- Jugs are used for storing and pouring liquids like milk, water, or juice and usually hold a moderate to large amount (e.g., 1 L or more).
-
Unit: Litre
7.
Large Water Bottle:
- Large water bottles are designed to hold a significant amount of water (e.g., 1 L or more).
-
Unit: Litre
8.
Juice Box:
- Juice boxes are small containers that typically hold a small amount of juice (e.g., 200 mL to 250 mL).
-
Unit: Millilitre
#### Step 3: Final Answers
Based on the analysis above, the correct units for each object are:
1.
Milk: Litre
2.
Can: Millilitre
3.
Pitcher: Litre
4.
Backpack: N/A (not applicable)
5.
Hand Soap Dispenser: Millilitre
6.
Jug: Litre
7.
Large Water Bottle: Litre
8.
Juice Box: Millilitre
Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{ll}
\text{Milk} & \text{Litre} \\
\text{Can} & \text{Millilitre} \\
\text{Pitcher} & \text{Litre} \\
\text{Backpack} & \text{N/A} \\
\text{Hand Soap Dispenser} & \text{Millilitre} \\
\text{Jug} & \text{Litre} \\
\text{Large Water Bottle} & \text{Litre} \\
\text{Juice Box} & \text{Millilitre} \\
\end{array}
}
\]
