Would you find the volume or the capacity if you wanted to know how much juice a jug holds?
13
What objects have the capacity of 1 gallon?
A standard milk jug has a capacity of one gallon. Also, a rectangular box with inside dimensions of 11 inches by 7 inches by 3 inches has a capacity of exactly one U.S. gallon.
If you have a 3gallons and a 5 gallons jug how do you measure out 4 gallons with the 3 and 5 gallons jug?
Fill the 5 gallon jug Pour from the 5 gallon to fill the 3 gallon jug You now have 2 gallons in the 5 gallon jug Empty the 3 gallon jug Pour the 2 gallons from the 5 gallon jug into the 3 gallon jug Fill the 5 gallon jug Pour from the 5 gallon jug to fill the three gallon jug -- this will tale 1 gallon You now have 4 gallons in the 5 gallon jug
If you have a 3 gallon jug and a 5 gallon jug and you need to measure out exactly 7 gallon of water how can you do it?
Fill the 5 gallon jug completely then pour that into the 3 gallon jug. Empty out the 3 gallon jug and pour the remaining water in the 5 gallon jug into the 3 gallon jug. Then just fill up the 5 gal jug again you will have 2 gallons in the 3 gallon jug and 5 gallons in the 5 gallon jug.
What metric unit would you use to measure the capacity of a jug?
This depends a lot on the size of the jug ... If its a fairly small one, you might use ml (milliliters, 1/1000s of a liter) For a larger one, especially if it is used commercially, you could use cl (centiliters, 1/100s of a liter or 10 ml) A really big one you would measure in l (Liters, 1 l = 10 cl = 1000 ml)
