The elephant is drinking 50 litres of kheer.
The giraffe is drinking 30 litres.
The cow is drinking 15 litres.
Then came the squirrel. She said I can’t drink 1 litre of kheer. Please give me only 500 millilitres kheer.
The donkey asked- 500 millilitres of kheer? Isn’t that more than a litre?
No, 500 millilitres are less than a litre.
The fox said- come on, don’t behave like a donkey! One litre is 1000 millilitres, so 500 millilitres is half a litre.
The fox got another chance to show off! He said that is simple 10 times hundred millilitres is 1000 millilitre = 1litre.
Now you write it 10 X 100 ml = 1000 ml
= 1 litre.

(ii) Then he poured the water in the big bottle and the marked level of the water as 250 mL.
(iii) He again poured the water into the big bottle and the marked level of the water as 500 mL.
(iv) He poured the water in the big bottle and the marked level of the water as 750 mL.
(v) In the same way he poured the water in the big bottle and the marked level of the water as 1000 mL.
In this way, he made his big measuring bottle.

Find your own way to make a bottle which can measure 200 mL, 400 mL, 600 mL, 800 mL and 1 litre. Discuss with your friends and teacher how you made this.
(i) At the beginning take a 200 mL bottle with water.
(ii) Then pour the water into the big bottle and mark the level of the water as 200 mL.
(iii) Then again pour the water in the big bottle and the marked level of the water as 400 mL.
(iv) Then pour the water in the big bottle and the marked level of the water as 600 mL.
(v) In the same way repeat to mark the water level at 800 mL and 1000 mL.
In this way, we can make a big measuring bottle that measures 200 mL, 400 mL, 600 mL, 800 mL and 1 litre.

Neetu has to take 3 injections in a day for 5 days. One injection gives 5 mL of the medicine to your body. How much medicine will she need for one day?
One injuction = 5 ml
Number of injections per day = 3
Medicine needed by Neetu for one day = 5 ml X 3
= 15 mL.
How much medicine in all for 5 days?
Medicine need for one day = 15 mL
Medicine need for 5 days = 15 ml X 5
= 75 mL.

1). Amina’s water bottle holds one litre of water. She drank 250 ml of water and her friend Govind drank 150 ml. How much water is left in her bottle?
Water in the Amina’s bottle = 1 litre = 1000 mL
She drank 250 mL of water
Water in the bottle = 1000 mL – 250 mL
= 750 mL
Govind drank 150 mL
Now water left in the bottle = 750 mL – 150 mL
= 600 mL
2). Yusuf runs a tea shop. For making a glass of tea he uses 20 ml of milk. Yesterday he made 100 glasses of tea. How much milk did he use?
Milk required for 1 glass of tea = 20 mL
Milk required for 100 glasses of tea = 20 X 100
= 2000 mL
= 2 L
3). Radha’s grandma was ill. The doctor gave her a bottle with 200 ml of medicine. She has to take the medicine every morning for 10 days. How many milliliters of medicine does she have to take every morning?
Medicine in the bottle = 200 mL
Number of days = 10
Medicine to take everyday = 200 ÷ 10
= 20 mL
