Capacity refers to the amount a container can hold. In real-world problems, we often deal with units like liters (L) and milliliters (mL). Understanding how to convert between these units and applying them to practical scenarios is key. Remember, 1 liter (L) is equal to 1000 milliliters (mL). By working through these problems, you'll get better at estimating and calculating capacities!
