You have a jug of milk, and you need to measure out just one cup. How do you do this if you only have a three-cup measuring container and a five-cup container?
I will put a riddle of the week every monday, and put the answer on every wednesday.
NO CHEATING!!!!!!!!!!!
jug -> 5 cup -> 3 cup (set aside)-> take what's left in the 5 cup and divide by 2.
ReplyDeletejust takin a random stab at it. correctness? no guarantee?
take the milk and pour it into the 3 cup measure then pour that into the 5 cup measure. take the milk and pour it into the 3 cup measure again and then pour that into the 5 cup measure until it reaches the top....
ReplyDeleteI spent all of my language arts class thinking about this :)
