Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use following steps to measure exactly 4 gallons of water with the help of 5 gallons and 3 gallons empty jugs.

1). Fill 3 gallons jug completely.

2). Pour this 3 gallons of water into 5 gallons jug. Now we have 3 gallons of water in 5 gallons jug and 3 gallons jug empty.

We can add 2 gallons of water in the empty space of 5 gallons jug more.

3). Fill the 3 gallons jug with the water again.

4). Pour this water into 5 gallons jug which can hold 2 gallons of water more.

Now we have 5 gallons of jug filled fully and 1 gallon water remaining in the 3 gallons jug.

5). Empty the 5 gallons jug completely.

6). Pour the remaining 1 gallon of remaining water in 3 gallons jug into 5 gallons jug.

7). Fill the 3 gallons jug completely and pour it into 5 gallon jug.

8). Finally we have 4 gallons of water in the 5 gallons jug.
