if you have a 5 gallon bucket of water and a 3 galleon bucket. How do you get 1 gallon?

Answer 1

fill up the 3 gallon, pour it into the 5 gallon, fill up the 3 gallon again, pour as much as you can into the 5 gallon, and then you're left with 1 gallon in the 3 gallon bucket

Answer 2

Fill the 3-gallon bucket 1/3 of the way.
or
Fill the 5-gallon bucket 1/5 of the way.
LOL :D

Answer 3

1) Fill the 3-gallon bucket, then pour those 3 gallons into the 5-gallon bucket.

2) Fill the 3-gallon bucket again, and pour into the 5-gallon bucket until the 5-gallon bucket is full (you will have poured 2 gallons).

One gallon remains in the 3-gallon bucket.

Answer 4

fill up the 3 gallon, pour it into the 5 gallon, fill up the 3 gallon again, pour as much as you can into the 5 gallon, and then you're left with 1 gallon in the 3 gallon bucket

Answer 5

you utilize the two gallon bucket to fill the 5 gallon...you would be left with one million gallon of water. EDIT::: this riddle could be a splash extra durable in case you had a three gallon bucket as a substitute of a 2 gallon...and needed to finally end up with precisely 4 gallons of water.....

Answer 6

Pour the three gallon into the five gallon, fill the three gallon again, pour in two more gallons from the three gallon into the five gallon, filling the three gallon. There will be one gallon left in the three gallon.

Answer 7

Basic math:

5X1=5
3X2=6
6-5=1

Fill the three twice. Fill the five once. Remainder is 1.

Answer 9
