Fill the seven litre jug. Empty into 9l jug. Refill 7 litre jug and empty into 9l jug. 7l jug now contains 5l, whilst 9l jug is full. Empty 9l jug. Pour contents of 7l jug into 9l jug. Refill 7l jug and empty into 9l jug. The remainder in the 7l jug will be 3 litres

How do you precisely measure 2 liters of water if you only have one 3 liter bucket and one 7 liter bucket?
Fill the 3 liter bucket, then dump it into the 7 liter bucket. Do it again, so that now you have 6 liters in the 7 liter bucket. Then fill the 3 liter bucket, and pour it into the 7 liter bucket so that you have exactly 7 liters in the 7 liter bucket. You should have 2 liters left in the 3 liter bucket................if all that made sense :P
How do you measure 4 liters of water if you have a 7-liter and a 5-liter bucket?
This method works with any such problem, as long as the two buckets' liter-capacities (or gallon capacities, etc.) have no common factors, or else the common factors are also factors of the amount you're trying to measure. Fill the 7-liter bucket, and empty 5 liters of it into the 5-liter bucket; then dump out the 5 liters. Two liters will remain in the 7-liter bucket; transfer them to the 5-liter bucket. Fill the 7-liter bucket again, and empty enough of the bucket into the 5-liter bucket to fill it. That should only be 3 liters transfered, leaving 4 liters left in the 7-liter bucket. QED.
When you have 2 empty tanks of water of 300 and 500 litersHow can you fill a 500 liter of water tank with 400 liter of water without a measuring instrument?
First: Fill the 500 liter tank Second: Pour the water to the 300 liter tank, thus the 500 liter tank will now have 200 liters Third: Dispose of the water in the 300 liter tank Fourth: Pour the remaining content of the 500 liter tank(which is 200 liters) to the 300 liter tank Fifth: Fill the 500 liter tank(the 300 liter tank still has the 200 liters in it) Sixth: Pour the water from the 500 liter tank to the 300 liter tank(which already has 200 liters in it) Thus the remaining amount of water in the 500 liter tank is 400 liters
A 2-liter container and half-liter container he uses each only oncehow many milliliters of water does otto measure for his experiment?
2 liters and 1/2 liter = 2,500 milliliters, IF he filled both of them.
Container A can hold 5 liters of water while container B can hold 3 liters of water. How can you measure 1 liter of water?
Here's how to proceed:Fill container B with 3 liters.Pour the 3 liters from container B into container A.Fill container B again with 3 liters.Carefully pour from container B into container A, until container A is full.Container A already had 3 liters, so it only takes 2 more liters to fill it to 5 liters, leaving 1 liter remaining in container B.

You have two sauce pans one holds 4 liters and the other 3 Using only these two receptacles how can you measure exactly two liters of water?
Fill the 4 liter with water and empty into the 3 liter, leaving one liter in the 4 liter receptacle. Dump the 3 liter water, and pour the remaining one liter from the 4 liter into the 3 liter. Fill the four liter and dump into 3 liter until full. You now have added two liters to the 3 liter receptacle and 2 liters remain in the 4 liter receptacle.

You now have 2 liters in The Tub.Empty the 3.Fill the 5.Pour the 5 into the 3.That leaves 2 liters in the 5.Pour them into The Tub. You now have 4 liters in The Tub.QEDYou do not have a TUB, it is not in the problem.Fill the 5 liter containerPour it into the 3 liter container leaving 2 liters in the 5 liter containerEmpty the 3 liter containerPour the 2 liters from the 5 liter container into the 3 liter containerFill the 5 liter containerFill the remainder of the 3 liter container from the 5 liter containerSince the 3 liter container already had 2 liters in it, one liter from the 5 liter container will fill it leaving 4 liters in the 5 liter container.Solved
