00:00Hi kids! Today we will learn about capacity. So let's get started. Kids, do you know what

00:11is capacity? Capacity is the maximum amount that something can contain. Here are a few

00:20containers. For each of these containers, will it hold the same amount of water? No.

00:32Each of these containers will hold different amounts of water. And the amount of water

00:39each of the containers can hold is its capacity. Now, which container can hold the maximum

00:48water? Yeah! Red container can hold the maximum water. So we say red container has the maximum

01:01capacity among these containers. Now, which container can hold the least water among these?

01:13Green container is smallest, so it can hold the least amount of water. So green container

01:24has the least capacity among all the containers. Now kids, you know what is capacity. Now let's

01:38learn the units for measuring capacity. Capacity is measured in L or ML, where L is symbol

01:52for liter and ML is symbol for milliliter. Kids, one liter equals 1000 millimeters. Now

02:06let's see how much quantity is one milliliter. This small container can hold at most one

02:16milliliter of water. So its capacity is one milliliter. Now, let's learn how much quantity

02:28is 25 milliliters. This small container can hold at most 25 milliliters of water. So its

02:40capacity is 25 milliliters. Now, let's learn how much quantity is 500 milliliters. Here

02:56have a container that can hold at most 500 milliliters of water. So its capacity is 500

03:07milliliters. Now, let's learn how much quantity is one liter. Here we have a jug. The exact

03:21amount of water this jug can contain is one liter. So its capacity is one liter. That is,

03:33it can contain one liter of water or any liquid. So kids, now you have a fair idea what is capacity

03:45and the units for measuring capacity. Now, let's move on to some questions. One liter is

03:58how many millimeters? It is 1000 milliliters. Two liter is how many milliliters? 1000 milliliters

04:13plus 1000 milliliters equals 2000 milliliters. Three liters is how many milliliters? It is

04:261000 milliliters plus 1000 milliliters plus 1000 milliliters. That is 3000 milliliters. Good.

04:40Now, 500 milliliters plus 500 milliliters makes how many liters? It is one liter. As 500 milliliters

05:00plus 500 milliliters is 1000 milliliters. Now, 250 milliliters plus 250 milliliters plus 500

05:17milliliters is how many liters? It is again one liter as it adds up to 1000 milliliters. Now,

05:333000 milliliters is how many liters? It is three liters. Good. Here we have a jug whose capacity

05:48is one liter and we also have a bucket whose capacity is four liters. Then, how many jugs

05:59are required to fill the bucket completely? One jug will contain one liter of water. So,

06:09four jugs will make four liters of water. So, we need four jugs of water to completely fill

06:19the bucket. Let's move on to the next question. Capacity of one tumbler is 500 milliliters and

06:32capacity of this jug is one liter. Then, how many tumblers of water are required to fill this jug?

06:43One tumbler contains 500 milliliters. Two tumblers will contain 500 milliliters plus 500

06:58milliliters equals 1000 milliliters or one liter. So, two tumblers of water are required to fill

07:10the jug. Now, let's move on to the next question. One jug holds one liter of water. We can pour four

07:23jugs of water in a bucket. Then, what is the capacity of the bucket? Let's solve this question.

07:34Capacity of the jug is one liter and we can pour four jugs of water in the bucket. Four jugs means

07:47four liters of water. So, capacity of the bucket is four liters. So, kids today we learn what is

08:01capacity. Now, you may go ahead and take a quiz to learn more. Bye-bye.
