It is important to note that by using non-standard weights, we cannot fi nd the
                    exact weight of the objects. Therefore, we need standard measures of weight
                    to weigh diff erent objects. We will learn about these standard measures in

                    higher classes.

                      2.  Measure the weights of the following fruits and vegetables using
                           non-standard weights.

                            1 banana                                      1 potato


                            2 oranges                                     1 cucumber

                    Measuring Capacity


                    Capacity of a container is the amount it can hold. For example, the capacity of
                    a petrol tank is the amount of petrol that the tank can hold.


                                                                 Recall


                         Tick () the group that holds more.
