1. Luis has 2000 milliliters of water. How many liters of water does he have?
  2. Nila filled a pitcher with 0.5 liter of water to measure the volume of a ball. She measured the volume of the ball and the water together to be 650 cc. What is the volume of just the ball in cubic centimeters?
  3. Tell whether the volume of each container is closer to 0.25 liter, 0.5 liter, or 1 liter.

Check-In: Question 12

  1. Use what you know about cubic centimeters, milliliters, and liters to complete each statement so it is true.
    1. 4 liters =     ?     cubic centimeters
    2.     ?     liters = 5000 cc
    3. 10 liters =     ?     ml
    4. 0.75 liters =     ?     milliliters
    5. 2 liters =     ?     cc
    6.     ?     liters = 2500 ml
  1. Find two empty containers of different sizes. The smaller container should be labeled with milliliters and the larger container labeled with liters. For example, you can use a soda can and a liter bottle or a soup can and a 2-liter bottle. Draw and label a picture of each container.
  2. Fill the smaller container with water, and empty it into the larger container. How many times can you do this without making the larger container overflow?
  3. About how many milliliters are in the larger container? Explain your thinking.
