# Fill the 5 liter bucket # Pour it into the 7 liter bucket # Fill the 5 liter bucket # Fill the 7 liter bucket from the 5 (2 liters go in leaving 3 liters in the 5 liter bucket) # Empty the 7 liter bucket # Pour the 3 liters from the 5 liter bucket into the 7 liter bucket # Fill the 5 liter bucket # Fill the 7 liter bucket from the 5 liter bucket (4 liters go in leaving 1 liter in the 5 liter bucket) # Empty the 7 liter bucket # Pour the 1 liter form the 5 liter bucket into the 7 liter bucket # fill the 5 liter bucket. You now have 5 liters in the 5 liter bucket and 1 liter in the 7 liter bucket; 6 liters in all. Pour the 5 liters into the 7 liter bucket if you want all 6 liters in one container.
Assuming an unlimited supply of water, fill the 4 l. pour that onto the 9l. refill the 4l and pour that in the 9l. it now has 8l (not full) fill the 4l again pourinr carefully into the 9l leaving 3l in the 4l container. empty the 9l. pour the 3l from the 4 in to the 9l container. Refill the 4l. Pour that into the 9l (4+3 =7). fill the 4l again and pourinto the 9l leaving 2l in the 4l container. Dump the 9l container, pour in the 2l from the 4l container. fill the 4l again. pour into the 9l (2+4 = 6) and you are finished.
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.
Fill up 8 liter bucket and 5 liter bucket. Pour 3 liter out from the 5. Pour 6 liter from the 8. Add the remains from the 5l back to the remains in the 8 liter and you have 4 liters.
-- Fill the 3 from the hose.-- Pour the 3 into the 5. The 5 container now has unfilled capacity of 2.-- Fill the 3 again from the hose.-- Pour the 3 slowly into the 5. It'll take only 2 to fill the 5 container.-- There is now 1 remaining in the 3 container. QED
That is 63.4 US pints.
Fill the 3 liter jug with water, then pour it into the 8 liter jug. Refill the 3 liter jug and pour water into the 8 liter jug until it is full, leaving 1 liter in the 3 liter jug. Now, empty the 8 liter jug and pour the remaining 1 liter from the 3 liter jug into the 8 liter jug. Finally, refill the 3 liter jug and pour it into the 8 liter jug, filling it up to 4 liters.
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 )
# Fill the 5 liter bucket # Pour it into the 7 liter bucket # Fill the 5 liter bucket # Fill the 7 liter bucket from the 5 (2 liters go in leaving 3 liters in the 5 liter bucket) # Empty the 7 liter bucket # Pour the 3 liters from the 5 liter bucket into the 7 liter bucket # Fill the 5 liter bucket # Fill the 7 liter bucket from the 5 liter bucket (4 liters go in leaving 1 liter in the 5 liter bucket) # Empty the 7 liter bucket # Pour the 1 liter form the 5 liter bucket into the 7 liter bucket # fill the 5 liter bucket. You now have 5 liters in the 5 liter bucket and 1 liter in the 7 liter bucket; 6 liters in all. Pour the 5 liters into the 7 liter bucket if you want all 6 liters in one container.
-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!)
You can pour about 27 per liter.
>there are 2 simple ways... ONE: Fill the 7lit jug & pour into the 5lit jug, so the remainder is 2lit, which you pour into the third jug,.... repeat this process further twice...., so you may get 6lits. TWO: fill 5lit jug & pour into the 7lit jug, fill again & pour the balance, now the left over is 3 lit..., which you may pour into the third jug... & repeat the process, so you get 6lits :) :) drink the rest

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
Fill the 3-liter bottle to the top, then pour the water into the 5-liter bottle. Refill the 3-liter bottle again and pour water into the 5-liter bottle until it's full. This leaves exactly 1 liter in the 3-liter bottle. Empty the 5-liter bottle, then pour the remaining 1 liter from the 3-liter bottle into the 5-liter bottle. Fill the 3-liter bottle once more and pour it into the 5-liter bottle, making a total of 4 liters.
First: Fill the 500 liter tank Second: Pour the water to the 300 liter tank, thus the 500 liter tank will now have 200 liters Third: Dispose of the water in the 300 liter tank Fourth: Pour the remaining content of the 500 liter tank(which is 200 liters) to the 300 liter tank Fifth: Fill the 500 liter tank(the 300 liter tank still has the 200 liters in it) Sixth: Pour the water from the 500 liter tank to the 300 liter tank(which already has 200 liters in it) Thus the remaining amount of water in the 500 liter tank is 400 liters
