According to one source the answer in in here...wood.army.mil/.../Summer 09/Hasmat-Railroad-Summer2009.pdf

4.5 gallons left over.
a quart means a quarter of a gallon so there are four of them in a gallon. 4 quarts makes a gallon, 8 quarts makes 2 gallons and the 2 left over make half a gallon. there are 2.5 gallons in 10 quarts
First, fill up the 5 gallon bucket. Then, pour the contents in the 5 gallon bucket into the 3 gallon bucket. This leaves 2 gallons left in the 5 gallon bucket. Pour the 2 gallons into the 3rd container. Now, fill the 5 gallon bucket again and pour the full 5 gallons into the 3rd container. This gives you 7 gallons.
To solve this, simply cross set up a proportion. 1 : 20 x : 1200 when you cross multiply, you will be left with 20x = 1200 x = 60 Therefore, 60 gallons Or Speed = 20mi/gal 1200mi x 1gal/20mi = 60 gallons
Assuming you don't use fractions of the containers: You could fill the 5 gallon container and then decant it into the 4 gallon container until full leaving 1 gallon left in the 5 gallon container. Empty this into another container, repeat the process 2 more times and combine the 3 one gallon containers to make 3 gallons in one.
