Fill up the 3 pint jug, pour it into the 5 pint jug, fill up the 3 pint jug again and start pouring it into the 5 pint jug, only 2 more pints will fit in the 5 pint jug, leaving you with 1 pint in the 3 pint jug

If A = 1.75 pint jug, and B = 1 pint jug 1) Fill 1.75 pint jug [then afterwards A = 1.75 B = 0] 2) From it pour 1 pint into the other jug [A = 0.75 B = 1.00] 3) Empty 1 pint jug, and into it pour the 0.75 pints [A = 0 B = 0.75] 4) Fill 1.75 pint jug again [A = 1.75 B = 0.75] 5) Pour enough (0.25 pint) from it to fill the 1 pint jug [A = 1.50 B = 1.00] 6) Finally, empty the 1 pint jug, and from the remaining 1.5 pints in the 1.75 pint jug, pour 1 pint of it into the 1 pint jug [A = 0.5 B = 1.00] So in six stages there will be half a pint in the 1.75 pint jug!
