What else can I help you with?
If you have a bucket that holds 4 gallons of water and a second bucket that holds 7 gallons of water. The buckets have no markings can you go to the well and bring back exactly 5 gallons of water?
Yes, you can measure exactly 5 gallons using the two buckets. First, fill the 7-gallon bucket completely. Then, pour water from the 7-gallon bucket into the 4-gallon bucket until the smaller bucket is full; this will leave you with 3 gallons in the 7-gallon bucket. Next, empty the 4-gallon bucket and pour the 3 gallons from the 7-gallon bucket into it. Finally, fill the 7-gallon bucket again and pour into the 4-gallon bucket until it is full, which will leave you with exactly 5 gallons in the 7-gallon bucket.
You have a 3 gallon pail and a 7 gallon pail how could you use these pails to put exactly 8 gallons of water in an aquarium?
Easy. Fill the 7gal pail to the full mark (7 Gallons) with water. Then pour, from the 7 gallon pail, water into each of the 3 gallon pail up to the full mark. The remaining water left in the 7 gallon is 1 gallon. Pour this gallon into the aquarium. Fill the 7 gallon pail with water, again to the full mark, and then add to the aquarium. 1 Gallon + 7 Gallons = 8 Gallons.
I have a bucket of water that holds 4 gallons of water and another that holds 7 gallons of water. The buckets have no markings. How can I go to the well and bring back exactly 5 gallons of water?
# Start with empty buckets, and carry them to the well. # (Note that the larger is the 7-gallon bucket, and the smaller is the 4-gallon bucket.) # Fill the 4-gallon bucket with water to the top. # Empty all the water from the 4-gallon bucket into the 7-gallon bucket. # (Note that there is room in the 7-gallon bucket for exactly 3 more gallons.) # Fill the 4-gallon bucket again. # Pour from the 4-gallon bucket into the 7-gallon bucket all the water that will fit, spilling none. # (Note that since there was room for only 3 more gallons in the 7-gallon bucket, you now have 1 gallon left in the 4-gallon bucket.) # Dump out all the water from the 7-gallon bucket. (Pour it back into the well or onto some flowers so it's not wasted.) # Pour the 1 gallon of water that remains in the 4-gallon bucket into the empty 7-gallon bucket. # Refill the 4-gallon bucket completely. # Pour all the 4 gallons from the 4-gallon bucket into the 7-gallon bucket. # (Note that since the 7-gallon bucket had 1 gallon already and you added 4 gallons, you now have 5 gallons of water in the 7-gallon bucket!) # Bring back your 7-gallon bucket that's holding exactly 5 gallons of water. (Bring your 4-gallon bucket back too, in case you want to play again!)

How many gallons are in 40 pounds?
All depends. Are we talking US gallons or UK gallons (they are different). Also, it matters what we are talking about, 40lb of water, molasses or engine oil of a specific gravity. Gallons at one time were different for dry goods and liquids. The US gallon for liquids is 231 cubic inches and was the old UK wine or Queen Anne gallon. The UK gallon was standardized in 1824 so the same value was used for liquids and dry goods. This Imperial gallon was set at 277.42 cubic inches as this was the capacity of exactly 10lb of pure water at 62F. If you want a numeric value for either gallon, see www.footrule.com .
