Fill the 3. Pour into 5. = 3/5
Fill 3 again, pour into 5 = 5/5 + 1/3
Empty 5.
Pour 1/3 into 5 = 1/5
Fill the 3 and add to the 1/5 = 4/5

Hmm, lets see... the difference in the two cans is 2 gallons.
So... you could fill up the 5 gal, pour it into the 3 gal till the 3 is full, then you would know you have 2 remaining in the can.
Pour this into whatever you need to have 4 gal in.
Do this twice and it should work.
Dunno if that is the easiest way, but it should work!

yeah, it was solved by Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson. By solving this riddle, they saved kids from dying from bomb blasts. What will the answer here do?
