If you have a container that hold 5 cups and another that holds 3 cups, you can get 4 cups by filling the 5 cup container full, and then using it to fill the 3 cup container. This will leave 2 cups in the 5 cups container. Empty the 3 cup container, and then pour the remaining 2 cups into it. Refill the 5 cup container, and then pour 1 cup out of it, filling the 3 cup container. This will leave you with 4 cups in the 5 cup container.
