Capacity refers to the amount a container can hold and is usually associated with liquid.Common capacity measurements are millilitres and litres.
1000 millilitres = 1 litre 1000 mL = 1 L

Boxes of tissues are packed in cubic metre containers to be shipped to supermarkets. Use a calculator to work out how many of these boxes will fit into each container. You will first need to work out how many cubic centimetres are in a cubic metre.
Work with a friend on this activity. You may either physically build the towers or choose to talk through the problem together. You are building towers using centicubes. One of you makes your first level with 4 rows of 3 blocks. The other person starts with 5 rows of 4 blocks. The first one has been done for you.

Hmmm … I think algebra could be used here.
There are a number of ways to solve this problem. One way is:
1 bar = 150 g + 13 bar
This can be re framed as: 33 bar = 150 g + 13 bar
We remove 13 bar from both sides: 23 bar = 150 g
If we multiply both sides by 3 we have:
2 bars = 450 g
Then we divide by 2 to find the weight of one bar:
1 bar = 225 g
