0 Guest Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Fill the 3 liter container full of water. Pour this water out into the empty 5 liter container. Refill the 3 liter container again. Pour some of it into the 5 liter container; stop when you have filled the 5 liter container. You will have used 2 liters to finish filling it, leaving 1 liter perfectly measured for you in the 3 liter container. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
