If you have a 3 gallon jug and a 5 gallon jug and you need to measure out exactly 7 gallon of water how can you do it?
Fill the 5 gallon jug completely then pour that into the 3 gallon jug. Empty out the 3 gallon jug and pour the remaining water in the 5 gallon jug into the 3 gallon jug. Then just fill up the 5 gal jug again you will have 2 gallons in the 3 gallon jug and 5 gallons in the 5 gallon jug.
If you have two jugs one can hold 3 liters and the other can hold 5 liters You need to measure out exactly 7 liters of water how would you do it?
Fill the 5L jug. Pour into 3L jug so that it is full and 2L remain in the 5L jug. Empty the 3L jug and then pour 2L from the 5L jug into the 3L jug. Fill the 5L jug again. So now you have 5L in the 5L jug and 2L in the 3L jug. Total of 7L.
If you have a 3 gallon jug and a 5 gallon jug You need to measure out exactly 7 gallons of water How do you do it?
There are lots of ways to do this, but here's one: Fill the 5 gallon jug to the top. Pour the water from the 5 gallon jug to the 3 gallon jug until the 3 gallon jug is full. What's left in the 5 gallon jug is 5 - 3 = 2 gallons. Dump what's in the 3 gallon jug. Put the 2 gallons from the larger jug into the smaller jug. Now fill the 5 gallon jug. You'll have 5 + 2 = 7 gallons, as needed.
How do you get 4 liters of water with 7 liter jugs and 5 liter jugs?
Assuming that you have more than one of each size jug (you need at least two of one size and one of the other), fill the 7L jug, then pour the water from the 7L jug into the 5L jug. There is now 2L left in the 7L jug. Get a different 7L jug and fill it, then pour that into another 5L jug (or empty the first 5L jug and reuse it). Once again, you will have 2L left over in the 7L jug. Pour that 2L into the other jug with 2L left over and you will have 4 Liters of water.Expressed mathematically, (7 - 5) + (7 - 5) = 4
If you have a 3gallons and a 5 gallons jug how do you measure out 4 gallons with the 3 and 5 gallons jug?
Fill the 5 gallon jug Pour from the 5 gallon to fill the 3 gallon jug You now have 2 gallons in the 5 gallon jug Empty the 3 gallon jug Pour the 2 gallons from the 5 gallon jug into the 3 gallon jug Fill the 5 gallon jug Pour from the 5 gallon jug to fill the three gallon jug -- this will tale 1 gallon You now have 4 gallons in the 5 gallon jug
