Capacity is the ability to hold the largest amount. The standard unit of capacity is liters. It can also be measured in milliliters, centiliters, Deca liters, etc. We can Subtract the capacity of one or more just like subtracting the numbers. The concept of borrowing is similar to the subtraction process. It would be easy if we know the relation between units of capacity. You can also check the solved examples of subtraction of capacity for a better understanding of the concept.<\/p>\n

In the Subtraction of capacity, we will explain how to subtract the different units of capacity and volume together. In the Subtraction process, we have to follow that the units of capacity (i.e., liter and milliliter) are converted into smaller units (milliliters) before subtraction and then follow the simple subtraction process.<\/p>\n
We have two different methods to solve subtraction using the standard unit and smaller unit of capacity. Both the methods can be practiced by everyone.<\/p>\n
(i)<\/b> Subtracting units with conversion into milliliters<\/p>\n
(ii) <\/b>Subtracting units without conversion into milliliters<\/p>\n
We can subtract two or more units of capacity l<\/em> and ml<\/em> just like ordinary numbers.<\/p>\n Consider some examples of the subtraction of capacity and follow the same procedure for similar problems.<\/p>\n Example 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n Subtract 4 l 530 ml from 18 l 850 ml using both methods.<\/p>\n Solution:<\/b><\/p>\n Method 1\u00a0<\/b>(with conversion into\u00a0milliliter):<\/p>\n We know, 1\u00a0liter\u00a0= 1000\u00a0milliliters<\/p>\n Now convert liter and milliliter into milliliters before doing subtraction and then we have to follow the simple subtraction process.<\/p>\n 4 l 530 ml = (4 \u00d7 1000) ml + 530 ml = 4000 ml + 530 ml = 4530 milliliters<\/p>\n 18 l 850 ml = (18 \u00d7 1000) ml + 850 ml = 18000 ml + 850 ml = 18850 milliliters<\/p>\n Now the difference is,<\/p>\n 1\u00a0 8\u00a0 8\u00a0 5\u00a0 0 ml<\/b><\/p>\n –\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a04\u00a0 5\u00a0 3\u00a0 0 ml<\/b><\/u> = 14 l 320 ml<\/p>\n Therefore, 18l 850\u00a0ml – 4 l 530 ml = 14 l 320 ml<\/p>\n Method 2\u00a0<\/b>(without conversion into milliliter):<\/p>\n Now arrange liter and milliliter in different columns and then subtract like ordinary numbers.<\/p>\n Follow the steps:<\/b><\/p>\n (i)\u00a0Liter\u00a0and\u00a0milliliter\u00a0are arranged in columns<\/p>\n (ii) 850 ml – 530 ml = 320 ml<\/p>\n (iii) 18 l – 4 l = 14 l<\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0l\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 ml<\/b> –\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a04\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a05\u00a0 3\u00a0 \u00a0 0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/u> = 14\u00a0l 320 ml<\/p>\n Therefore, the difference of 18 l 850\u00a0ml from 4 l 530 ml = 14l 320 ml<\/p>\n Example 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n Subtract 2 l 250 ml from 15 l 780 ml using both methods.<\/p>\n Solution:<\/b><\/p>\n Method 1\u00a0<\/b>(with conversion into\u00a0milliliter):<\/p>\n We know, 1\u00a0liter\u00a0= 1000\u00a0milliliters<\/p>\n Now convert liter and milliliter into milliliters before doing subtraction and then we have to follow the simple subtraction process.<\/p>\n 2l 250 ml = (2 \u00d7 1000) ml + 250 ml = 4000 ml + 250 ml = 4250 milliliters<\/p>\n 15 l 780 ml = (15 \u00d7 1000) ml + 780 ml = 15000 ml + 780 ml = 15780 milliliters<\/p>\n Now the difference is,<\/p>\n 1\u00a0 5\u00a0 7\u00a0 8\u00a0 0 ml<\/b><\/p>\n –\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a02\u00a0 2\u00a0 5\u00a0 0 ml<\/b><\/u> = 13 l 530 ml<\/p>\n Therefore, 15l 780\u00a0ml – 2 l 250 ml = 13 l 530 ml<\/p>\n Method 2\u00a0<\/b>(without conversion into milliliter):<\/p>\n Now arrange liter and milliliter in different columns and then subtract like ordinary numbers.<\/p>\n Follow the steps:<\/b><\/p>\n (i)\u00a0Liter\u00a0and\u00a0milliliter\u00a0are arranged in columns<\/p>\n (ii) 780 ml – 250 ml = 320 ml<\/p>\n (iii) 15 l – 2 l = 13 l<\/p>\n l\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 ml<\/b> –\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a02\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a02\u00a0 \u00a0 5\u00a0 \u00a00\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/u> = 13\u00a0l 530 ml<\/p>\n Therefore, the difference of 15 l 780 ml from 2 l 250 ml = 13l 530 ml<\/p>\n Example 3:<\/strong><\/p>\n Subtract 6 l 180 ml from 39 l 490 ml using both methods.<\/p>\n Solution:<\/b><\/p>\n Method 1\u00a0<\/b>(with conversion into\u00a0milliliter):<\/p>\n We know, 1\u00a0liter\u00a0= 1000\u00a0milliliters<\/p>\n Now convert liter and milliliter into milliliters before doing subtraction and then we have to follow the simple subtraction process.<\/p>\n 6l 180 ml = (6 \u00d7 1000) ml + 180 ml = 6000 ml + 180 ml = 6180 milliliters<\/p>\n 39l 490 ml = (39 \u00d7 1000) ml + 410 ml = 39000 ml + 410 ml = 39490 milliliters<\/p>\n Now the difference is,<\/p>\n 3\u00a0 9\u00a0 4\u00a0 9\u00a0 0 ml<\/b><\/p>\n –\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a06\u00a0 1\u00a0 8\u00a0 0 ml<\/b><\/u> = 33 l 310 ml<\/p>\n Therefore, 39l 490\u00a0ml – 6 l 180 ml = 33 l 310 ml<\/p>\n Method 2\u00a0<\/b>(without conversion into milliliter):<\/p>\n Now arrange liter and milliliter in different columns and then subtract like ordinary numbers.<\/p>\n Follow the steps:<\/b><\/p>\n (i)\u00a0Liter\u00a0and\u00a0milliliter\u00a0are arranged in columns<\/p>\n (ii) 490 ml – 180 ml = 310 ml<\/p>\n (iii) 39 l – 6 l = 33 l<\/p>\n \u00a0 \u00a0l\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 ml<\/b> –\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a06\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a01\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a08\u00a0 \u00a0 0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/u> = 33\u00a0l 310 ml<\/p>\n Therefore, the difference of 39 l 490 ml from 6 l 180 ml = 33l 310 ml<\/p>\n Example 4:<\/strong><\/p>\n Subtract 3 l 570 ml from 14 l 680 ml\u00a0with conversion into\u00a0milliliter.<\/p>\n Solution:<\/b><\/p>\n With conversion into\u00a0milliliter,\u00a0we will do simple subtraction.<\/p>\n We know, 1\u00a0liter\u00a0= 1000\u00a0milliliters<\/p>\n Now convert liter and milliliter into milliliters before doing subtraction and then we have to follow the simple subtraction process.<\/p>\n 3 l 570 ml = (3\u00d7 1000) ml + 570 ml = 3000 ml + 570 ml = 3570 milliliters<\/p>\n 14 l 680 ml = (14 \u00d7 1000) ml + 680 ml = 14000 ml + 680 ml = 14680 milliliters<\/p>\n Now difference is,<\/p>\n 1\u00a0 \u00a04\u00a0 \u00a06\u00a0 \u00a08\u00a0 \u00a00\u00a0 ml<\/b><\/p>\n –\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 3\u00a0 \u00a0 5\u00a0 \u00a07\u00a0 \u00a0 0\u00a0 ml<\/b><\/u> = 11 l 110 ml<\/p>\n Therefore, 14 l 680 ml – 3 l 570 ml = 11 l 110 ml.<\/p>\n Example 5:<\/strong><\/p>\n Subtract 19 l 750 ml from 29 l 950 ml using the conversion into millimeter method.<\/p>\n Solution:<\/b><\/p>\n Method 1\u00a0<\/b>(with conversion into\u00a0milliliter):<\/p>\n We know, 1\u00a0liter\u00a0= 1000\u00a0milliliters<\/p>\n Now convert liter and milliliter into milliliters before doing subtraction and then we have to follow the simple subtraction process.<\/p>\n 19l 750 ml = (19 \u00d7 1000) ml + 750 ml = 19000 ml + 750 ml = 19750 milliliters<\/p>\n 29l 950 ml = (29 \u00d7 1000) ml + 950 ml = 29000 ml + 950 ml = 29950 milliliters<\/p>\n Now the difference is,<\/p>\n 2\u00a0 9\u00a0 9\u00a0 5\u00a0 0 ml<\/b><\/p>\n – 1\u00a0 9\u00a0 7\u00a0 5\u00a0 0 ml<\/b><\/u> = 10 l 200 ml<\/p>\n Therefore, 29l 950\u00a0ml – 19 l 750 ml = 10 l 200 ml.<\/p>\n Example 6:<\/strong><\/p>\n Subtract 1 l 330 ml from 9 l 950 ml
