Fill the 4 gal bucket and empty it into the 7 gal bucket. Fill the 4 gal bucket and then fill the 7 gal bucket from the 4 gal. This leaves 1 Gallon in the 4 gallon bucket. Empty the 7 gallon bucket and pour the gallon from the 4 gal lbucket into it. Fill the 4 gal bucket and pour it into the 7 gal bucket. You then have 5 gallons in the 7 gallon bucket.

I have a bucket of water that holds 4 gallons of water and another that holds 7 gallons of water. The buckets have no markings. How can I go to the well and bring back exactly 5 gallons of water?

# Start with empty buckets, and carry them to the well. # (Note that the larger is the 7-gallon bucket, and the smaller is the 4-gallon bucket.) # Fill the 4-gallon bucket with water to the top. # Empty all the water from the 4-gallon bucket into the 7-gallon bucket. # (Note that there is room in the 7-gallon bucket for exactly 3 more gallons.) # Fill the 4-gallon bucket again. # Pour from the 4-gallon bucket into the 7-gallon bucket all the water that will fit, spilling none. # (Note that since there was room for only 3 more gallons in the 7-gallon bucket, you now have 1 gallon left in the 4-gallon bucket.) # Dump out all the water from the 7-gallon bucket. (Pour it back into the well or onto some flowers so it's not wasted.) # Pour the 1 gallon of water that remains in the 4-gallon bucket into the empty 7-gallon bucket. # Refill the 4-gallon bucket completely. # Pour all the 4 gallons from the 4-gallon bucket into the 7-gallon bucket. # (Note that since the 7-gallon bucket had 1 gallon already and you added 4 gallons, you now have 5 gallons of water in the 7-gallon bucket!) # Bring back your 7-gallon bucket that's holding exactly 5 gallons of water. (Bring your 4-gallon bucket back too, in case you want to play again!)

If you have a bucket that holds 4 gallons of water and a second bucket that holds 7 gallons of water. The buckets have no markings can you go to the well and bring back exactly 5 gallons of water?

Yes, you can measure exactly 5 gallons using the two buckets. First, fill the 7-gallon bucket completely. Then, pour water from the 7-gallon bucket into the 4-gallon bucket until the smaller bucket is full; this will leave you with 3 gallons in the 7-gallon bucket. Next, empty the 4-gallon bucket and pour the 3 gallons from the 7-gallon bucket into it. Finally, fill the 7-gallon bucket again and pour into the 4-gallon bucket until it is full, which will leave you with exactly 5 gallons in the 7-gallon bucket.


How many 5 gallon buckets of beans equal a bushel?

A bushel is a unit of volume equivalent to 8 gallons. Therefore, 1 bushel is equal to 1.6 five-gallon buckets of beans. This calculation is based on the conversion factor of 1 bushel = 8 gallons and 1 gallon = 0.2 five-gallon buckets. So, 8 gallons ÷ 5 gallons = 1.6 five-gallon buckets.
