Answer 1

Explanation:

You have a 10 gallon jug and a 3 gallon jug and need exactly 5 gallons of water.

This what you do:

- Fill the 3 gallons jug full and pour into the 10 gallons keg

- Repeat the above a second time making a total of 6 gallons of water in the 10 gallons jug.

- Fill the 3 gallons jug a third time and pour into the 10 gallons jug making 9 gallons

- Fill the 3 gallons jug the fourth time and pour into the 10 gallons jug till full leaving 2 gallons of water remaining in the 3 gallons jug.

- Then empty out the 10 gallons jug and pour the 2 gallons of water in the 3 gallons jug into the 10 gallons jug.

- Then, fill the 3 gallons jug again and pour into the 10 gallons jug holding the 2 gallons of water making a total of 5 gallons of water in the 10 gallons jug.
