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

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?

To measure 4 liters of water using a 7-liter and a 5-liter bucket, you can follow these steps: Fill the 5-liter bucket to the top and pour it into the 7-liter bucket, leaving 2 liters in the 5-liter bucket. Empty the 7-liter bucket and pour the remaining 2 liters from the 5-liter bucket into the 7-liter bucket. Fill the 5-liter bucket again and pour it into the 7-liter bucket, which already has 2 liters, making it a total of 4 liters in the 7-liter bucket.


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 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.

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 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.
