You can achieve this by first filling the 3-gallon container with oil, then pouring it into the 5-gallon container. Next, fill the 3-gallon container again and pour it into the 5-gallon container until it's full (leaving 1 gallon in the 3-gallon container).
If you have a 3 gallon container and 5 gallon container of water how do you get to four gallons without being able to measure?
Notation: ( x , y ) where x is the amount of water in the 3-gallon container and y is the amount of water in the 5-gallon container1. Fill the three-gallon container ( 3 , 0 )2. Pour the three gallons into the 5-gallon container ( 0 , 3 )3. Fill the three-gallon container ( 3 , 3 )4. Fill the five-gallon container with the three-gallon container, leaving 1 gallon in the three gallon container ( 1 , 5 )5. Pour out the water from the five-gallon container ( 1 , 0 )6. Pour the water from the three-gallon container into the five-gallon container ( 0 , 1 )7. Fill the three-gallon container ( 3 , 1 )8. Pour the water from the three-gallon container into the five-gallon container ( 0 , 4 )Another great answer here:[See below for the related link]
How can you measure exactly 5 gallons only using 2 containers that are 3 gallons and 4 gallons?
1. Completely fill the 4 gallon container. 2. Pour 3 of the 4 gallons into the 3 gallon container, leaving 1 gallon in the 4 gallon container. 3. Empty the 3 gallon container and pour the 1 remaining gallon from the 4 gallon container into the 3 gallon container. 4. Fill the 4 gallon container. Now you have a total of 5 gallons, 4 in the 4 gallon container and 1 in the 3 gallon.
How do you measure 1 gallon in a 4 gallon vat?
It is impossible to measure out exactly 1 gallon into a 4 gallon container, unless the container has appropriate markings for measurement. However, if you had a 2nd container available, it may be possible to derive a 1 gallon measurement. Assuming a 2nd container of size: 1 Gallon: Just use the 2nd container 2 Gallon: Impossible 3 Gallon: Fill the 4 gallon container completely, then pour it into the 3 gallon container until full. You should have exactly 1 gallon left in the 4 gallon container. 4 Gallon: Impossible 5 Gallon: Fill the 5 gallon container until it is full, then dump it's contents into the 4 gallon container, leaving exactly 1 gallon left in the 5 gallon container. 6 Gallon: Impossible 7 Gallon: Fill the 4 gallon container completely, then empty it's contents into the 7 gallon container. Repeat this process, and when the 7 gallon container is full, there should be exactly 1 gallon left in the 4 gallon container. 8 Gallon: Impossible 9 Gallon: Fill the 9 gallon container completely, then use it to fill the 4 gallon container. Once the 4 gallon container is full, empty it and repeat. After pouring from the 9 gallon container twice, you will end up with exactly 1 gallon left. 10 Gallon: Impossible This pattern repeats for all containers that satisfy the following equations: C*n+1 C*n-1 Where C is the size of the original container (4 in this case), and n is all whole numbers greater than 0. The only additional case would be a 2nd container size of 1.
