Assuming the jug has an infinite amount of milk:

Pour into the five cup
Pour the five cups into the three cup, there is now two cups inside of the five cup container and three cups inside of the three cup container
Return the three cups into the jug, so now there is only two cups inside of the five cup container.
Move the two cups into the three cup container. 
Fill the five cup container again, so now there are two cups inside of the three cup container and five cups inside the five cup container.
Pour one cup from the five cup container into the three cup container, now there are three cups inside of the three cup container and four cups inside of the five cup container
Empty out the three cup container, so now there are only four cups inside of the five cup container.
Pour the four cups into the three cups, until you can't anymore, so there are three cups in the three cup container, and one cup in the five cup container.
Pour the three cups back into the container, and you're left with one cup of milk.

I hope this helped, there was probably a simpler way to do this, but whatever.

67,124 x = ________. Will the product of this equation be less than or greater than 67,124? Explain your reasoning.
sweet-ann [11.9K]

The product could be either less than or greater than 67,124.

If you multiplied by a negative number, you would get a negative number, which is less than a positive number such as 67,124.

If you multiplied by zero, you would get zero, which is less than a positive number such as 67,124.

If you multiplied by one, you would get 67,124, which is equal to 67,124 since they are the same number.

If you multiplied by a positive number less than one, you would get a positive number greater than zero and less than 67,124.

If you multiplied by a positive number greater than one, you would get a positive number greater than 67,124.
