Here's a step-by-step solution: Fill up the 5-liter jar completely with water. Pour the water from the 5-liter jar into the 3-liter jar until the 3-liter jar is full. Now, you are left with 2 liters of water in the 5-liter jar. Empty the 3-liter jar. Pour the 2 liters of water from the 5-liter jar into the 3-liter jar. Fill up the 5-liter jar again. Pour enough water from the 5-liter jar into the 3-liter jar to fill it completely (this will take 1 liter). Now, you are left with 4 liters of water in the 5-liter jar, which gives you the required 8 liters of water.
7, 5 Liter jars 7, 0 = fill 7 liters jar 2, 5 = transfer to the 5 liters jar 2, 0 = emtry the 5 liters jar 0, 2 = transfter to 5 liters jar 7, 2 = fill in the 7 liter jar 4, 5 = transfer 7 liter to 5 liter jar 4, 0 = emtry to 5 liters jar 0, 4 = transfer to 5 liters jar 7, 4 = fill in 7 liter jar 6, 5 = transfer 7 liter to 5 liter jar Fill the 7 liter jar and tip into the 5liter jar. you now have 2 litres in the 7 liter jar, empty the 7 liter and tip the 2 liters into the 5liter jar. Fill the 7liter and tip into 5 liter, you now have 4 liters in the 7 liter jar, empty the 5 liter jar and put 4liters from 7 liter jar into it. Again fill the 7 liter jar, 1 more liter will fill the 5 liter jar so empty the 7 liter into the 5 liter, 6liters left in the 7 liter jar;-)
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).
1 liter = 1,000 milliliters
Simple. First take water in 5L jar and fill the 8L jar. Again repeat the process. The 8L jar which is holding 5L water in step 1 begins to overflow after being filled with extra 3L of water in step 2. The water that overflows when collected will measure exactly 2L or if you are patient enough,fill upto brim of 8L jar in step 2. The water that now remains in the 5L jar would be 2L correctly.

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).
Fill the 5 litre and empty into the 12 litres twice. Then fill it again and with this pour to the brim of the 12 litres. You are then left with 3 litres in the 5 litre jug. Because: 5+5+5=15, however you have only space for 12. i.e. 15-12 is 3
1 liter = 1,000 milliliters
1)Transfer 7 liters from the 12-liter jar into the 7-liter jar.We now have 5 liters in the 12-liter jar and 7 liters in the 7-liter jar. The 5-liter jar is empty, as of now.2)Transfer 5 liters from the 7-liter jar into the 5-liter jar.The 12-liter, 7-liter, 5-liter jars now contain 5, 2 and 5 liters respectively.3)Empty the contents of the 5-liter jar into the 12-liter jar.The 12, 7, 5- liter jars now contain 10, 2 and 0 liters respectively.4)From the 7-liter jar, take out 5 liters and pour 7 liters from the 12-liter jar into the 7-liter jar.We now have 3 liters in the 12-liter jar and 7 in the 7-liter one, while the 5-liter jar has only two liters in it.5)Fill up the remainder of the 5-liter jar using the 7-liter jar.That leaves us with 3 liters on the 12-liter jar and 4 liters in the 7-liter jar. The 5-liter jar is full.6)Pour the contents of the 5-liter jar into the 12-liter jar.There are 8 liters in the 12-liter jar and 4 liters in the 7-liter jar, while the 5-liter jar is empty.7)Pour the 4 liters that are in the 7-liter jar into the 5-liter jar.We now have 8 liters in the 12-liter jar and 4 liters in the 5-liter jar. The 7-liter jar is empty.8)Fill the 7-liter jar using the 12-liter jar.There is now only 1 liter in the 12-liter jar and 7 liters in the 7-liter jar and 4 liters in the 5-liter jar.9)Fill up the 5-liter jar using the 7-liter jar.There is now 1 liter in the 12-liter jar and 6 liters in the 7-liter jar and 5 in the 5-liter jar.NOTE: This might not be the only way, or the shortest way to do it.
It's the same puzzle from Die Hard 3, except you have to do it twice. First, use the eight liter jar to fill the three liter and dump it into the five liter. Now fill the three liter again and use it to fill the five liter up to the top. This leaves one liter in the three liter jar. Empty the five liter back into the eight and then dump the remaining milk in the three liter jar into the five liter. Fill the three liter again and dump it into the five liter. Now you have four liters in the five liter jar, and four liters are left in the eight liter jar.

Notes: There is most likely a more efficient way to do this, but this is the best I can do for now.Notation: ( x , y ) where x is the amount of water in the 5-liter container and y is the amount of water in the 7-liter container1. Fill the five-liter container ( 5 , 0 )2. Pour the five-liter container into the seven-liter container ( 0 , 5 )3. Fill the five-liter container ( 5 , 5 )4. Fill the seven-liter container with the five-liter container, leaving 3 liters in the five-liter container ( 3 , 7 )5. Pour out the seven-liter container ( 3 , 0 )6. Pour the five-liter container into the seven-liter container ( 0 , 3 )7. Fill the five-liter container ( 5 , 3 )8. Fill the seven-liter container with the five-liter container, leaving 1 liter in the five-liter container ( 1 , 7 )9. Pour out the seven-liter container ( 1 , 0 )10. Pour the five-liter container into the seven-liter container ( 0 , 1 )11. Fill the five-liter container ( 5 , 1 )12. Pour the five-liter container into the seven-liter container ( 0 , 6 )
10 ml = .01 liters x 100=1.0 liters 100 hours
Fill up 3 cup jar and pour into the 5 cup jar. Fill the 3 cup jar once more. Pour from the 3 cup jar in order to fill up the 5 cup jar. There will be 1 cup remaining in the 3 cup jar. Pour the contents of the 5 cup jar into the stock bottle and pour the contents of the 3 cup jar into the 5 cup jar (1 cup). Fill up the 3 cup jar once more then add it to the contents of the 5 cup jar to have a total volume of 4 cups in the 5 cup jar.
There are 1000 milliliters in one liter, so you would need 1000 milliliters to fill a one liter glass jar.
