How can you measure out exactly six gallons of water using only a 4 gallon container and a 9 gallon container?
Well, honey, it's simple math. Fill up the 9 gallon container, pour it into the 4 gallon container until it's full, leaving you with 5 gallons in the 9 gallon container. Then empty out the 4 gallon container, pour the remaining 5 gallons from the 9 gallon container into the 4 gallon container, and finally fill up the 9 gallon container again. Voila, you've got yourself 6 gallons of water!
