Class 5 Maths Chapter 8, Weight and Capacity, teaches how to read mechanical and digital weighing scales and measuring jugs, convert between milligrams (mg), grams (g), kilograms (kg) and quintals, and between millilitres (mL) and litres (L), and solve grocery and liquid capacity problems.
What Class 5 Mathematics Chapter 8 Covers
Measuring Weight: mg, g, kg & Quintal reads weighing dials and balance pan weights (50 g, 100 g, 200 g, 500 g, 1 kg), introduces 1 g = 1,000 mg, 1 kg = 1,000 g, and 1 quintal = 100 kg, and performs addition, subtraction, multiplication and division on weights.
Measuring Capacity: Millilitres (mL) & Litres (L) compares liquid containers (eye-dropper, spoon, cup, bottle, bucket, water tank), establishes 1 L = 1,000 mL (500 mL = 1/2 L, 250 mL = 1/4 L), and solves multi-step capacity word problems.

FAQ
How many milligrams make 1 gram, and how many grams make 1 kilogram?
1,000 milligrams (mg) make 1 gram (g), and 1,000 grams (g) make 1 kilogram (kg); 100 kilograms make 1 quintal.
How many 250 mL glasses are needed to fill a 2-litre jug?
Since 1 litre = 1,000 mL, 2 litres = 2,000 mL; dividing 2,000 mL by 250 mL gives 8 glasses.
