How will you measure 5 liter water if you only have 2 liter bucket and 4 liter bucket?

There are two easy ways to
do these with these resources:
The first one is to simply fill the two litre bucket
half full and fill the four litre bucket to the brim
and then, all together, in both buckets you have five
litres: Voila
The second one is slightly more complex you fill the
four litre bucket three quatre full and then fill the
other bucket to the brim: Voila
As well as these there are many more more
complex answers to this questions

How do you precisely measure 2 liters of water if you only have one 3 liter bucket and one 7 liter bucket?
Fill the 3 liter bucket, then dump it into the 7 liter bucket. Do it again, so that now you have 6 liters in the 7 liter bucket. Then fill the 3 liter bucket, and pour it into the 7 liter bucket so that you have exactly 7 liters in the 7 liter bucket. You should have 2 liters left in the 3 liter bucket................if all that made sense :P
How do you measure 4 liters of water if you have a 7-liter and a 5-liter bucket?
This method works with any such problem, as long as the two buckets' liter-capacities (or gallon capacities, etc.) have no common factors, or else the common factors are also factors of the amount you're trying to measure. Fill the 7-liter bucket, and empty 5 liters of it into the 5-liter bucket; then dump out the 5 liters. Two liters will remain in the 7-liter bucket; transfer them to the 5-liter bucket. Fill the 7-liter bucket again, and empty enough of the bucket into the 5-liter bucket to fill it. That should only be 3 liters transfered, leaving 4 liters left in the 7-liter bucket. QED.
How do you precisely measure 6 liters of water if you only have one 4 liter bucket and one 9 liter bucket with a steady flow of water?
you use the 4 litre bucket to feel the 9 litre bucket then empty the 9 when it is full till you end up with 6 in it as follows you put 2 buckets of 4 into 9 then 1 litre from 4 to fill 9 then empty 9 put remaining 3 into 9 put 4 more in then 2 to fill 9 and empty put remaining 2 in then 4 more giving you 6 litres ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- My way: (Mechanical Engineering Student) Take the 9l bucket filled to capacity and use it to fill the 4l bucket twice leaving you with 1l remaining in the 9l bucket. Next, pour that 1l into the 4l bucket. Fill the 9l to capacity again. Using the 9l bucket fill the 4l bucket to capacity leaving you with 6l total in the 9l bucket.
A 2-liter container and half-liter container he uses each only oncehow many milliliters of water does otto measure for his experiment?
2 liters and 1/2 liter = 2,500 milliliters, IF he filled both of them.
A liter is the same as?
1 liter is 1 cubic decimeter or 1000 cubic centimeters. Only if it is pure water you can say: 1 liter of water weighs 1 kilogram.
How do you precisely measure 4 liters of water if you only have one 6 liter bucket and one 9 liter bucket with a steady flow of water?
you don't
How do you precisely measure 4 liters of water if you only have one 3 liter bucket and one 5 liter bucket and 8 liter bucket?
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.

How do you precisely measure 6 liters of water if you only have one 7 liter and one 5 liter bucket?
# 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.

What would you do if you have to measure 1.5 liter of water but your measuring cup has marks up to only 1 liter?
you idiot.. lol you measure one cup the you measure another HALF one
How do you precisely measure 4 liters of water if you only have two 3 liter buckets with water?
by my hands
How to measure 7 liters of water if you only have one 3 liter bucket and one 5 liter bucket with a steady flow of water?
Fill the 5 litre bottle. Use the 5 L bottle to fill the 3 L bottle. Pour out the water from the 3 L bottle. Pour the last 2L from the 5 L bottle into the 3 L bottle Now fill the 5 L bottle from the tap. 5L + 2L = 7L.
How do you precisely measure 5 liters of water if you only have one 3 liter bucket and one 7 liter bucket with a steady flow of water?
1. fill up the 7 litre bucket. 2. from the 7 Litre bucket, fill up the 3 lt. bucket, so now you have 3 and 4. 3. throw away the 3 litres you´ve got, then from the 7 litre bucket, (where you have four litres of water left) pour 3 into the 3 litre bucket. Now you have 3 and 1. 4. throw away the 3 litres again, and pour the 1 litre left in the 7 litre bucket into the 3 litre bucket. Now you have 1 and 0. 5. fill up the 7 litre bucket, then from it, pour 2 litres into the one that had 1 litre. Now you have 3 and 5. 6. finally, throw away the 3 litres and there you have 5 litres left.

How much space does 1 liter of water occupy?
a coke bottle
How do you measure exactly 7 liters of water with a 2 liter and 6 liter bucket without markings or other containers?
The solution to this is equivalent to solving the linear diophantine equation 2x+6y=7 It is known that this equation has a solution if and only if the gcd of (2,6) divides 7 Since (2,6)=2 and 2 does not divide 7 there is no solution and it cannot be done.
