Q1.
Visit nearby shops and make a list of different items that are sold in the following quantities.
| 50 ml | 100 ml | 200 ml | 250 ml | 500 ml | 900 ml |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Answer
This is the table given on page 126:
| 50 ml | 100 ml | 200 ml | 250 ml | 500 ml | 900 ml |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Walk around a shop, read the label on each packet, and write the item under the right heading. A sample list:
| 50 ml | 100 ml | 200 ml | 250 ml | 500 ml | 900 ml |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hair oil | Curd cup | Milk packet | Milk packet | Cold drink | Shampoo |
| Eye drops box | Buttermilk | Juice tetra pack | Curd packet | Mustard oil | Floor cleaner |
| Rose water | Lassi glass | Cold drink | Ice cream tub | Water bottle | Phenyl |
| Perfume | Coconut oil | Juice bottle | Buttermilk | Ghee tin | Hand wash |
Why it happens: Shops sell liquids in fixed sizes so that the price is easy to fix and the packets stack neatly. That is why the same numbers — 50, 100, 200, 250, 500 — come again and again.
Tip: 900 ml is an odd size. Look for it on shampoo, floor cleaner and some oil bottles.
