∙ 12y ago-fill 5L pour into 7L
-fill 5L pour into 7L so that the 7L is now full
5L jar has 3L and 7L has 7L
-empty 7L
-pour the 3L from the 5 into the 7
-fill 5L pour into 7L so that the 7L is now full
5L jar has 1L and 7L is full
-fill 5L (again!) pour into 7L
7L jar now has 6L
-fill the 5L jar and pour into the 7L jar so that it is full
-since 1L is poured from 5L there is 4L remaining in it.
these water pouring questions work by the remainder when multiples of the smaller container are divided by the larger container (that's why the procedure is so repetitive!)

∙ 14y agoYou can do it in one of two ways. The first way would be to add the 5 liter bottle to the 3 liter bottle, and get 8 liters, then measure half of that amount, which would be 4 liters. The second way is to either add 1 liter to the 3 liter bottle, or remove 1 liter from the 5 liter bottle, which would also give you 4 liters.

∙ 13y agoIf the 5 liter bowl is first filled, then 3 liters of water from the 5 liter bowl can be poured into the 3 liter bowl. There should be 2 liters of water left in the 5 liter bowl, and 3 liters in the 3 liter bowl. Dump out the water in the 3 liter bowl, and replace it from the remaining 2 liters from the 5 liter bowl. Refill the 5 liter bowl, and pour 1 liter of water from the 5 liter bowl into the 3 liter bowl. There should be 4 liters in the 5 liter bowl, and 3 liters in the 3 liter bowl. Dump out the 3 liter bowl for a total of 4 liters left in the 5 liter bowl.
Nice answer here as well:

∙ 12y agoFill the 5 litre jug with water. Pour its contents into the 4 litre jug. 1 litre will remain in the 5 litre jug. Pour out the 4 litre jug's contents. Pour the contents of the 5 litre jug into the 4 litre jug. Fill the 5 litre jug. Pour the contents of the 5 litre jug into the 4 litre jug. 2 litres will remain in the 5 litre jug.

You can measure milk using gallons, quarts and liters. Or pints
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.
First, fill the 9-liter bowl and pour it into the 4-liter bowl until it is full. This leaves 5 liters in the 9-liter bowl. Next, empty the 4-liter bowl and pour the remaining 5 liters from the 9-liter bowl into it. Finally, fill the 9-liter bowl again and pour 3 liters into the 4-liter bowl until it is full. This will leave exactly 6 liters in the 9-liter bowl.
Fill a container three times using the 7-liter jar (which will give you 21 liters), then take out water with the 11-liter jar (which will give you 10 liters).
You cannot. Each of the three containers has a capacity of an even number of litres. Their sums and differences will always be even. There is, therefore, no way to measure out an odd number of litres using them.
Volume is measured in the metric system using liters (L) or milliliters (mL). One liter is equal to 1000 milliliters.
1 US quart = 0.94635 liters.0.94635 x 24 = 22.7124 liters.If you are using US liquid measure 24 quarts is 22.69 Liters.If you are using US dry measure 24 quarts is 26.43 Liters.If you are using Imperial measure 24 quarts is 27.24 Liters.

* Fill 4 liter jug. * Empty the 4 liter jug into the 5 liter jug. * Again fill 4 liter jug. * Fill up the 5 liter jug with the 4 liter jug. * There are now 3 liters in the 4 liter jug.
Fill the 5 liter container.Pour it into the 8 liter container.Fill the 5 liter container again.Pour it into the 8 liter container again, but stop when the 8 liter container is full.The 5 liter container now contains 2 liters.
You cannot. Adding or subtracting with 10 L, 4 L and 2 L means you can only have an even number of litres.
