Let 16.0.0 represent 16 gallons in jug 1, and nil gallons in jugs 2 and 3. Then filling up jug 2 from jug 1 gives 7.9.0 Filling jug 3 from jug 2 gives 7.2.7 And proceeding 14.2.0 - 14.0.2 - 5.9.2 - 5.4.7 - 12.4.0 -12.0.4 - 3.9.4 - 3.6.7 - 10.6.0 - 10.0.6 - 1.9.6 - 1.8.7 we have 8 gallons as required.

fill the 5 gallon jug with water then pour the water into the 3 gallon jug until its full then u will have 2 gallons in the 5 gallon jug. then if the jugs both have the same circumference u can just make the water in both jugs level then u will have 2 gallons of water in each jug. pour the water from the 3 gallon jug into the 5 gallon jug. and u should know that 2+2=4 :)
