In addition of capacity we will learn how to add the different units of capacity and volume together. While adding we need to follow that the units of capacity i.e., liter and milliliter are converted into milliliters before addition and then follow the simple addition process.
We will learn two different methods to solve addition using the standard unit and smaller unit of capacity. Students can practice both the methods.
(i) Adding units with conversion into milliliters
(ii) Adding units without conversion into milliliters
We can add two or more units of capacity l and ml just like ordinary numbers.
Worked-out Examples on Addition of Capacity and Volume:
1. Add 3 l 600 ml and 6 l 300 ml
Solution:
Method I: (with conversion into milliliters):
We know, 1 liter = 1000 milliliters
Now liter (l) and milliliters (ml) are converted into ml before doing addition and then we need to follow the simple addition process.
3 l 600 ml = (3 × 1000) ml + 600 ml = 3000 ml + 600 ml = 3600 milliliters
6 l 300 ml = (6 × 1000) ml + 300 ml = 6000 ml + 300 ml = 6300 milliliters
Now sum,
3600 ml
+ 6300 ml
9900 ml
= 9 l 900 ml
Therefore, 3 l 600 ml + 6 l 300 ml = 9 l 900 ml
Method II: (without conversion into milliliters):
Here l and ml are arranged in different columns and then added like ordinary numbers.
(i) l and ml are arranged column-wise
(ii) 600 ml + 300 ml = 900 ml
(iii) 3 l + 6 l = 9 l
l ml
3 600
+ 6 300
9 900
= 9 l 900 ml
Therefore, sum of 3 l 600 ml and 6 l 300 ml = 9 l 900 ml.
2. Add 5 l 725 ml and 8 l 450 ml
Solution:
Method I: (with conversion into milliliters):
We know, 1 liter = 1000 milliliters
Now liter (l) and milliliters (ml) are converted into ml before doing addition and then we need to follow the simple addition process.
5 l 725 ml = (5 × 1000) ml + 725 ml = 5000 ml + 725 ml = 5725 milliliters
8 l 450 ml = (8 × 1000) ml + 450 ml = 8000 ml + 450 ml = 8450 milliliters
Now sum,
1
5725 ml
+ 8450 ml
14175 ml
= 14 l 175 ml
Therefore, 5 l 725 ml + 8 l 450 ml = 14 l 175 ml
Method II: (without conversion into milliliters):
Here l and ml are arranged in different columns and then added like ordinary numbers.
(i) l and ml are arranged column-wise
(ii) 725 ml + 450 ml = 1 l 175 ml.
175 ml is placed under ml. 1 l is taken in l column.
(iii) 1 l + 5 l + 8 l = 14 l
l ml
1
5 725
+ 8 450
14 175
= 14 l 175 ml
Therefore, sum of 5 l 725 ml and 8 l 450 ml = 14 l 175 ml.
More solved examples on addition of capacity where the method is mentioned in the given question.
3. Add 17 l 387 ml, 7 l 750 ml and 9 l without conversion into milliliters
Solution:
Without conversion into milliliters here l and ml are arranged in different columns and then added like ordinary numbers.
(i) l and ml are arranged column-wise
(ii) 387 ml + 750 ml = 1 l 137 ml.
137 ml is placed under ml. 1 l is taken in l column.
(iii) 1 l + 17 l + 7 l + 9 l = 34 l
l ml
21 1
17 387
7 750
+ 9 000
34 137
= 34 l 137 ml
Therefore, sum of 17 l 387 ml, 7 l 750 ml and 9 l = 34 l 137 ml.
4. Add 13 l 250 ml, 8 l 750 ml and 6 l with conversion into milliliters
Solution:
With conversion into milliliters here we will do the addition process.
We know, 1 liter = 1000 milliliters
Now liter (l) and milliliters (ml) are converted into ml before doing addition and then we need to follow the simple addition process.
13 l 250 ml = (13 × 1000) ml + 250 ml = 13000 ml + 250 ml = 13250 milliliters
8 l 750 ml = (8 × 1000) ml + 750 ml = 8000 ml + 750 ml = 8750 milliliters
6 l = (6 × 1000) ml = 6000 milliliters
Now sum,
111
13250 ml
8750 ml
+ 6000 ml
28000 ml
= 28 l 000 ml
= 28000 ml
Therefore, 13 l 250 ml + 8 l 750 ml + 6 l = 28000 ml
5. Add 36 l 275 ml and 16 l 150 ml.
Solution: Arrange the numbers vertically. First, add the milliliters. 275 ml + 150 ml = 425 ml Add the liters 36 l + 16 l = 52 l |
Hence, 36 l 275 ml + 16 l 150 ml = 52 l 425 ml
6. Add 150 l 810 ml and 90 l 300 ml
Solution:
Arrange the numbers vertically. First, add the milliliters. 810 ml + 300 ml = 1110 ml = 1 l 110 ml Write 110 under ml column and carry over 1 l to the liters column. Add the liters 150 l + 90 l + 1 = 241 l |
Hence, 150 ℓ 810 mℓ + 90 ℓ 300 mℓ = 241 ℓl 110 mℓ
For addition, write the number of mℓ and ℓ in separate columns then add like ordinary numbers. starting from the right.

9 9 9 6 6 9
Answer: 999 mℓ 669 mℓ
9. Find the sum of the capacity: 28 ℓ 32 mℓ + 73 ℓ 68 mℓ
Solution: 28 ℓ 32 mℓ + 73 ℓ 68 mℓ First add mℓ = 32 mℓ + 68 mℓ = 100 mℓ Now add liters = 28 ℓ + 93 ℓ = 121 ℓ |
Therefore, required sum = 121 ℓ 100 mℓ
Word Problems on Addition of Capacity and Volume:
9. Finn purchased 3 ℓ 250 mℓ of milk on Monday, 2 ℓ 750 mℓ on Wednesday and 3 ℓ 500 mℓ on Friday. How much milk did Finn purchased during these three days?
Solution:
1 1
Milk purchased on Monday = 3 ℓ 250 mℓ
Milk purchased on Wednesday = 2 ℓ 750 mℓ
Milk purchased on Friday = 3 ℓ 500 mℓ
+
Therefore, total milk purchased during these 3 days = 9 ℓ 500 mℓ
