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 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.

What do u have left in the 5 gallon jug ?? 4 gallons of water.. !Method 2Next to each step, the current contents (in gallons of water) of the two jugs (5 gallon first, then 3 gallon) is written.5 0 Fill the 5 gallon jug.2 3 Pour 3 gallons into the other jug, leaving 2 gallons.2 0 Empty the 3 gallon jug.0 2 Pour the 2 gallons from the 5 gallon jug into the 3 gallon jug.5 2 Fill the 5 gallon jug again.4 3 Top up the 3 gallon jug from the 5 gallon jug, leaving 4 gallons in the 5 gallon jug.Method 3You fill the three gallon jug and then pour it into the five gallon jug.

How do you make exactly four gallons of water with a 3 gallon jug and a 5 gallon jug?

You fill the 5 gallon jug. Fill the 3 gallon just from the 5. This leaves 2 in the 5. Empty the 3. Pour the 2 into the 3. Fill the 5 Top up the 3 - this takes only 1 as there is already 2 in it. That leaves 4 in the 5.

If you have a 5 gallon jug and a seven gallon jug no marks on either one the goal is to fill the 7 gallon jug with 6 gallons of water how is this accomplished?

Fill the 5-gallon jug with liquid. Pour the liquid into the 7-gallon jug. Fill the 5-gallon jug with liquid and top-off the 7-gallon jug with the liquid of the 5-gallon. There will one gallon of liquid left in the 5-gallon jug. Empty the contents of the 7-gallon jug and fill it with the one gallon left in the 5-gallon jug. Fill the 5-gallon jug with liquid and pour it into the 7-gallon jug that contains one gallon of liquid. Do the math, one gallon plus five gallons equals six gallons of liquid.
