How do you measure 4 liters of water if you have a 7-liter and a 5-liter bucket?

This method works with any such problem, as long as the two buckets' liter-capacities (or gallon capacities, etc.) have no common factors, or else the common factors are also factors of the amount you're trying to measure. Fill the 7-liter bucket, and empty 5 liters of it into the 5-liter bucket; then dump out the 5 liters. Two liters will remain in the 7-liter bucket; transfer them to the 5-liter bucket. Fill the 7-liter bucket again, and empty enough of the bucket into the 5-liter bucket to fill it. That should only be 3 liters transfered, leaving 4 liters left in the 7-liter bucket. QED.

How do you precisely measure 2 liters of water if you only have one 3 liter bucket and one 7 liter bucket?
Fill the 3 liter bucket, then dump it into the 7 liter bucket. Do it again, so that now you have 6 liters in the 7 liter bucket. Then fill the 3 liter bucket, and pour it into the 7 liter bucket so that you have exactly 7 liters in the 7 liter bucket. You should have 2 liters left in the 3 liter bucket................if all that made sense :P

What is the most appropriate unit to use to measure the capacity of a bucket of water for a horse?
The best device to use to measure the capacity of a bucket is a measuring cup. After the measurement is made, the result can be expressed in any unit of volume, although some units will result in numbers that are inconveniently large or small. Probably the most convenient numbers will be associated with liters, quarts, or gallons. And none of this depends on what's in the bucket, or on its intended use.

How do you precisely measure 6 liters of water if you only have one 7 liter and one 5 liter bucket?
# Fill the 5 liter bucket # Pour it into the 7 liter bucket # Fill the 5 liter bucket # Fill the 7 liter bucket from the 5 (2 liters go in leaving 3 liters in the 5 liter bucket) # Empty the 7 liter bucket # Pour the 3 liters from the 5 liter bucket into the 7 liter bucket # Fill the 5 liter bucket # Fill the 7 liter bucket from the 5 liter bucket (4 liters go in leaving 1 liter in the 5 liter bucket) # Empty the 7 liter bucket # Pour the 1 liter form the 5 liter bucket into the 7 liter bucket # fill the 5 liter bucket. You now have 5 liters in the 5 liter bucket and 1 liter in the 7 liter bucket; 6 liters in all. Pour the 5 liters into the 7 liter bucket if you want all 6 liters in one container.

If you have a 4 -liter bucket and a 7-liter bucket. You need 3-liters of water for an aquarium.Explain how to get 3 liters of water if neither bucket is marked.?
You could fill the 7-liter bucket and pour water into the aquarium until it is full, but that would make too much sense. If you really need to have three liters, fill the 7-liter bucket (which, although unmarked, will be larger than the 4-liter bucket) and pour it into the 4-liter bucket. When the 4-liter bucket is full, there will be three liters remaining in the 7-liter bucket.
What do you use liters to measure?
we use dm3 It depends on how many liters you want to measure. If you want to measure one or two liters, you'd use a graduated cylinder, measuring cup or some other small container. Measuring up to 20 liters calls for a big calibrated bucket. A few hundred liters is measured with a calibrated tank. But if you're measuring thousands of liters, you'd either want a tank with a float gauge, or a measuring pole.
