What can mass and capacity be measured in?

What is the capacity of the container?                        (Each interval = 25ml)

I know the mass weighs 1g. The laptop feels four times as heavy as the weight so I estimate the mass of the laptop is 4000g

I know the capacity of the water bottle is 10L. The wheelie bin looks 6 times larger than the bottle so I estimate the capacity of the wheelie bin is 600L

I know the capacity of the water bottle is 10L. The wheelie bin looks 6 times larger than the bottle so I estimate the capacity of the wheelie bin is 60L

I know the capacity of the water bottle is 10L. The wheelie bin looks 6 times larger than the bottle so I estimate the capacity of the wheelie bin is 60ml

I know the capacity of the water bottle is 10ml. The wheelie bin looks 6 times larger than the bottle so I estimate the capacity of the wheelie bin is 60ml

Estimate the capacity of the wheelie bin.

Fill in the blanks to make these statements correct.

I know that the capacity of the bottle is 500ml. The egg cup looks about a fifth of the size of the bottle so I estimate that the egg cup has a capacity of 100ml

I know that the capacity of the bottle is 500ml. The egg cup looks about half the size of the bottle so I estimate that the egg cup has a capacity of 250ml

I know that the capacity of the bottle is 500ml. The egg cup looks slightly bigger than the bottle so I estimate that the egg cup has a capacity of 550ml

Match the correct statement to the image.
