  Conversion units of capacity:

                       1 litre = 1000 millilitre.
                       Half litre = 500 millilitre.


                     We know that 1 litre = 1000 milliliters (1 l = 1000 ml)

                       So,               500 ml = 1/2 of a litre


                                           250 ml = 1/4 of a litre


                                           200 ml = 1/5 of a litre

                                           100 ml = 1/10 of a litre




















                     If we have to measure 300 ml of a liquid, we use the measures of 200
                       ml and 100 ml capacities. To measure 700 ml of a liquid, we use the

                       measures of 500 ml and 200 ml.

                       Example:  Capacity  of  the  following  containers  in  litre  (l)  or  milliliter

                       (ml):
