Milligram
How much weight can an ant carry?
How much does an ant weigh?
Ants weigh between 1 milligram and 5 milligrams. They can carry a lot
more weight than their own weight.
Note for Teachers: Discuss objects that are light and measured in milligrams (mg),
like ingredients in medicine, gold ornaments, etc. Encourage the learners to explore
and find similar objects around them.

1. If a sugar sachet weighs 5g, how much will it be in milligrams?
2. Complete the double number line below appropriately.

1 g 5 g 12 g _____ g 25 g _____ g
1000 mg _____ mg 12,000 mg 20,000 mg _____ mg 31,000 mg
Converting g to mg is similar to
converting kg to g.
4 g = 4,000 mg
4 g 100 mg = 4,100 mg
3. An ornament weighs 4 g 100 mg. What will be the weight in milligrams?
4. A goldsmith has made an ornament weighing 10 g 500 mg. What will its
weight be in milligrams? _____________________

FAQs on NCERT Textbook: Weight and Capacity - Mathematics (Maths Mela) Class 5 - New NCERT
| 1. What is the difference between weight and capacity? |  |
Ans. Weight refers to the measure of how heavy an object is, typically measured in grams (g) or kilograms (kg). It indicates the force exerted on an object due to gravity. Capacity, on the other hand, measures how much a container can hold, usually described in liters (L) or milliliters (mL). While weight focuses on mass, capacity concerns volume.
| 2. How can we convert between different units of weight and capacity? | |
Ans. To convert between units of weight, for instance, 1 kilogram is equal to 1,000 grams. For capacity, 1 liter is equivalent to 1,000 milliliters. Understanding these conversions is crucial for accurate measurements in everyday situations, such as cooking or shopping.
| 3. Why is it important to understand weight and capacity in daily life? | |
Ans. Understanding weight and capacity is vital for various reasons. It helps in cooking by ensuring the right ingredient amounts, in shopping to know how much product you are buying, and in science experiments to measure substances accurately. This knowledge enhances practical decision-making in daily activities.
| 4. What tools can be used to measure weight and capacity accurately? | |
Ans. Common tools for measuring weight include weighing scales and balances, which provide precise readings of an object's mass. For measuring capacity, measuring cups, graduated cylinders, and beakers are typically used. These tools help ensure that measurements are accurate for various applications, such as cooking and scientific experiments.
| 5. How does understanding weight and capacity relate to science and environmental studies? | |
Ans. Understanding weight and capacity is crucial in science, especially in fields like chemistry and physics, where precise measurements are essential for experiments and calculations. In environmental studies, it helps in quantifying resources, waste management, and understanding ecological balances, as knowing the weight of materials can influence environmental impact assessments.
