Explanation:
We need to find the capacity (maximum amount it can hold) of each container by reading the measurement markings on the graduated containers shown.
1.
Pail:
- There are two containers shown: a beaker and a graduated cylinder.
- The beaker has markings in liters (l): 1 l, 2 l, 3 l, 4 l, 5 l.
- The water level reaches exactly the
5 l mark.
- The graduated cylinder shows 600 mL, but that’s just how much is *in* it — not the pail’s capacity.
- Since the pail is being compared to the beaker filled to 5 L, and the question asks for the *capacity* of the pail, we assume the pail holds at least as much as the full beaker — and since the beaker is marked up to 5 L and is full, the pail’s capacity is
5 L.
- No mL part needed unless it’s over 5 L, but it's exactly 5 L → so 5 L 0 mL.
2.
Bottle:
- Three identical measuring cups (each marked up to 1000 mL) are shown.
- First cup: water level at 900 mL
- Second cup: water level at 700 mL
- Third cup: water level at 200 mL
- These likely represent filling the bottle three times and pouring into the cup — total poured = 900 + 700 + 200 =
1800 mL.
- So the bottle’s capacity is 1800 mL.
- Convert to liters and milliliters:
- 1000 mL = 1 L
- 1800 mL = 1 L and 800 mL
- So capacity =
1 L 800 mL
3.
Small bottle:
- A single graduated cylinder is shown, marked in mL from 10 to 50.
- Water level is at
35 mL (between 30 and 40, exactly halfway).
- Since the cylinder is used to measure how much the small bottle holds, and the water fills to 35 mL, the small bottle’s capacity is
35 mL.
Let me double-check:
- Pail: Beaker full at 5 L → correct.
- Bottle: 900 + 700 + 200 = 1800 mL = 1 L 800 mL → correct.
- Small bottle: Cylinder shows 35 mL → correct.
Final Answer:
1. 5 l 0 ml
2. 1 l 800 ml
3. 35 ml
