Subtraction of capacity


               Learning Objective– Students will be able to learn about subtraction of capacity.

               Explanation
               subtraction of units of capacity

               Arrange the number in column according to the units. First subtract smaller unit then subtract
               larger unit.
               Millilitres is always written in 3 digits.

               Example :

               Subtract 14 l 430 ml from 35 l 130 ml


                                L                ml


                               35             130
                      -   14              430

                            20              700



               Thus, 35 l 130 ml - 14 l 430 ml = 20 l 700 ml


               Learning Outcome– Students are able to learn about subtraction of capacity.
