What matters when comparing capacities?

Change both to the same unit first, for example 1 litre 200 millilitres is 1200 millilitres.

How is equal sharing calculated?

Change to millilitres or grams first, then divide, and state the remainder clearly.

03　Answers and one-line notes

#	Answer	One-line note
1	1800 millilitres	One litre is 1000 millilitres, so 1000 + 800 = 1800 millilitres.
2	1250 millilitres is more, by 50 millilitres	1 litre 200 millilitres is 1200 millilitres, so 1250 minus 1200 = 50 millilitres.
3	3500 grams	3 kilograms is 3000 grams, so 3000 + 500 = 3500 grams.
4	1250 millilitres	5 litres is 5000 millilitres, so 5000 divided by 4 = 1250 millilitres.
5	400 grams	2 kilograms 400 grams is 2400 grams, so 2400 divided by 6 = 400 grams.
6	2200 grams, that is 2 kilograms 200 grams	1 kilogram 300 grams is 1300 grams, so 900 + 1300 = 2200 grams, that is 2 kilograms 200 grams.
7	4700 millilitres, that is 4 litres 700 millilitres	7500 minus 2800 = 4700 millilitres, that is 4 litres 700 millilitres.
8	3 kilograms	12 times 250 = 3000 grams, and 1000 grams is 1 kilogram, that is 3 kilograms.
9	2700 millilitres, that is 2 litres 700 millilitres	4 litres 500 millilitres is 4500 millilitres, so 4500 minus 1800 = 2700 millilitres, that is 2 litres 700 millilitres.
10	500 grams	One kilogram is 1000 grams, so half a kilogram is 500 grams, not 50 grams.

04　What to do after marking

After marking, redo only the wrong items and write down which step went wrong (formula, unit, or misread number).
Repeat the same item two days later; move to the next paper only when both attempts are correct.
Parents only need the answer and note columns; there is no need to explain every item.
