Question

If you only have a 3 quart pitcher and a 5 quart pitcher how can you measure exactly 1 quart

Answer 1

Fill the 5 quart pitcher with water. Then pour that water into the 3 quart pitcher until it is full. There will be 2 quarts of water remaining in the 5 quart pitcher. Remove exactly half of the remaining water, leaving you with 1 quart of water in the pitcher.
