Measuring Capacity Using Non-Standard Units

We talk about capacity in terms of the
container. A glass of milk, a jug of water and a

bowl of soup are some examples of containers.
These containers are non-standard units of
measurement of capacity. This is because the cup glass jug

shapes and sizes of these containers are not Some non-standard units of
always the same. measurement of capacity

We can measure the capacity of a bigger container using non-standard units.

=

5 glasses of water 1 jug of water

We can say that glasses are used to measure the capacity of a jug.

Here the capacity of the jug is equal to 5 glasses as 5 glasses fi ll the jug up to

the top.
