Problem Description:
The task is to choose the appropriate unit of capacity (either "Litre" or "Millilitre") for each object shown in the image. The goal is to match the unit with the typical capacity of the object.
Solution Approach:
1.
Understand the Units:
-
Litre (L): A larger unit of volume, typically used for measuring larger quantities of liquid.
-
Millilitre (mL): A smaller unit of volume, equal to 1/1000th of a litre, used for measuring smaller quantities of liquid.
2.
Analyze Each Object:
- Consider the typical capacity of each object based on common knowledge and practical usage.
3.
Match the Unit:
- Assign "Litre" for objects that generally hold larger volumes.
- Assign "Millilitre" for objects that generally hold smaller volumes.
Step-by-Step Analysis:
#### Top Row:
1.
Milk:
- Milk is typically sold in cartons or bottles that hold 1 litre or more.
-
Unit: Litre
2.
Can:
- Cans, such as those for soda or soup, usually hold around 330 mL to 500 mL.
-
Unit: Millilitre
3.
Pitcher:
- Pitchers are designed to hold a significant amount of liquid, often 1 litre or more.
-
Unit: Litre
4.
Backpack:
- Backpacks do not hold liquid; they are used for carrying items. However, if we consider the context of liquid capacity, it would be irrelevant or very small.
-
Unit: Millilitre (assuming minimal liquid capacity)
#### Bottom Row:
5.
Hand Soap Dispenser:
- Hand soap dispensers typically hold a small amount of liquid, around 250 mL to 500 mL.
-
Unit: Millilitre
6.
Jug:
- Jugs are designed to hold a large quantity of liquid, often 1 litre or more.
-
Unit: Litre
7.
Large Water Bottle:
- Large water bottles can hold 1 litre or more.
-
Unit: Litre
8.
Juice Box:
- Juice boxes typically hold around 200 mL to 250 mL.
-
Unit: Millilitre
Final Answer:
\[
\begin{array}{cccc}
\text{Milk} & \text{Can} & \text{Pitcher} & \text{Backpack} \\
\text{Litre} & \text{Millilitre} & \text{Litre} & \text{Millilitre} \\
\hline
\text{Hand Soap Dispenser} & \text{Jug} & \text{Large Water Bottle} & \text{Juice Box} \\
\text{Millilitre} & \text{Litre} & \text{Litre} & \text{Millilitre} \\
\end{array}
\]
\boxed{
\begin{array}{cccc}
\text{Milk} & \text{Can} & \text{Pitcher} & \text{Backpack} \\
\text{Litre} & \text{Millilitre} & \text{Litre} & \text{Millilitre} \\
\hline
\text{Hand Soap Dispenser} & \text{Jug} & \text{Large Water Bottle} & \text{Juice Box} \\
\text{Millilitre} & \text{Litre} & \text{Litre} & \text{Millilitre} \\
\end{array}
