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

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
