    Using a 5 liter and 7 liter jar, this document outlines an 11 step process to measure out 6 liters of liquid by transferring amounts between the jars and an unmarked collection bucket. It involves filling and emptying the jars in a specific sequence to accumulate the desired 6 liters through incremental filling and emptying of partial amounts from each jar into the bucket.

    How do you measure 6 litres with a 5 liter jar and 7 liter jar?

    I can do it, but you have to bring another unmarked bucket or jar to collect the 6 liters in. Steps: 1). Fill the 5 jar. 2). Empty the 5 jar into the 7 jar. Now you have 5 in the 7 jar. 3). Fill the 5 jar again. 4). Use it to slowly fill the 7 jar. That will take 2, and you'll have 3 left in the 5 jar. 5). Empty the 3 out of the 5 jar into your bucket. 6). Empty the 7 jar. Both the 5 jar and the 7 jar are empty now. 7). Repeat step-1 8). Repeat step-2 9). Repeat step-3 10). Repeat step-4. You have 3 in the 5 jar. 11). Add the 3 from the 5 jar into your bucket. You have 6 liters in your bucket. QED.
