Riddle me
this? You are given a 5-gallon barrel and a 3-gallon barrel. You are told to go to the sink and fill the 5-gallon barrel with 4 gallons of water. You don’t have any measuring devices. What do you do to make sure the 5-gallon barrel has only 4 gallons of water using the items you have? See answer below
Answer to Riddle Me This: You fill the 5-gallon barrel up and pour it into the 3-gallon barrel. Then dump the 3-gallon barrel out and pour what was left in the 5-gallon barrel into the 3-gallon barrel so that you have 2 gallons in the 3-gallon barrel. Then fill the 5-gallon barrel up and pour it into the 3-gallon barrel to fill it up. Now you have 4 gallons in the 5-gallon barrel.
