Yes you can.

Fill the 8 gallon jug and from it fill the 5 gallon jug.

Pour out the 5 gallons and pour the rest of the 8 into it. You now have 3 gallons in the 5 gallon jug

Refill the 8 gallon jug and from it finish filling the 5 gallon jug.

You now have 5 gallons in the 5 gallon jug and 6 in the 8 gallon.

Empty the 5 gallon jug and refill it from the 8 gallon and you have 1 gallon left in the 8 gallon jug.

There are other ways of doing this wasting less water. See if you can figure it out.

How do you get 4 gallons of water by using a 3 gallon jug and a 5 gallon jug?

Method 1: Fill the 3-gallon jug. Pour this into the 5-gallon jug. Fill the 3-gallon jug again, and pour from it into the 5-gallon jug until it is full. This leaves 1 gallon in the 3-gallon jug. Empty the 5-gallon jug, and then pour the gallon from the 3-gallon jug into it. Fill the 3-gallon jug, and pour it into the 5-gallon jug, thus making 4 gallons. Method 2: Fill the 5-gallon jug. Pour this into the 3-gallon jug until it's full. Empty the 3-gallon jug, and then pour the remaining two gallons into the 3-gallon jug. Fill the 5-gallon jug, and then pour into the 3-gallon jug until it is full, leaving 4 gallons in the 5-gallon jug.
