suppose that you have two water jugs, one which holds three gallons and one which holds five gallons. in additions, you have a water faucet at your disposal. your job is to find a method that produces exactly one gallon of water, another method that produces exactly two gallons of water, another method that produces exactly three etc up to exactly eight gallons of water. you may fill jugs from the faucet or from one another. you may not rough estimates???

Hi Kisha,

I can get you started by showing you how to get one gallon.

Fill the three gallon jug and pour the three gallons into the five gallon jug.
Fill the three gallon jug again and pour it into the five gallon jug until it is full.
What remains in the three gallon jug is one gallon.
