fill the 5 gallon jug with water then pour the water into the 3 gallon jug until its full then u will have 2 gallons in the 5 gallon jug. then if the jugs both have the same circumference u can just make the water in both jugs level then u will have 2 gallons of water in each jug. pour the water from the 3 gallon jug into the 5 gallon jug. and u should know that 2+2=4 :)

Let 16.0.0 represent 16 gallons in jug 1, and nil gallons in jugs 2 and 3. Then filling up jug 2 from jug 1 gives 7.9.0 Filling jug 3 from jug 2 gives 7.2.7 And proceeding 14.2.0 - 14.0.2 - 5.9.2 - 5.4.7 - 12.4.0 -12.0.4 - 3.9.4 - 3.6.7 - 10.6.0 - 10.0.6 - 1.9.6 - 1.8.7 we have 8 gallons as required.

AnswerThere are three ways to do this. Method 1Step 1 : Fill the 5 gallon jug and then pour it into the 3 gallon jug. The 5 gallon jug has2 gallons left.Step 2 : Now throw the 3 gallon water away. Pour the 2 gallons from the 5 gallon jug to the 3 gallon jug. So now the 3 gallon jug has just 2 gallons of water.Step 3 : Fill the 5 gallon jug again, and pour 1 gallon to the 3 gallon jug. What do u have left in the 5 gallon jug ?? 4 gallons of water.. !Method 2Next to each step, the current contents (in gallons of water) of the two jugs (5 gallon first, then 3 gallon) is written.5 0 Fill the 5 gallon jug.2 3 Pour 3 gallons into the other jug, leaving 2 gallons.2 0 Empty the 3 gallon jug.0 2 Pour the 2 gallons from the 5 gallon jug into the 3 gallon jug.5 2 Fill the 5 gallon jug again.4 3 Top up the 3 gallon jug from the 5 gallon jug, leaving 4 gallons in the 5 gallon jug.Method 3You fill the three gallon jug and then pour it into the five gallon jug. Then you fill it again and pour it in the five gallon jug, leaving one gallon in the three gallon jug. Then you pour out the five gallon jug, pour the one gallon from the three gallon jug into the five gallon jug, then you fill the three gallon jug, pour it into the five gallon jug, leaving four gallons in the five gallon jug.
