You have a 5 gallon jug and a 3 gallon jug. You have no other measuring devices.

Measure out exactly 4 gallons of water (Assume you have a river handy, or some other limitless water supply).

here is the easiest way...

pour 3 gal in to 5 gal. do it again and you are left with one gal in the small one. dump the 5 put the 1 gal into the big one, fill up three and add it to the 1 in the big jug.
==4 gal.

3,0
0,3
3,3 Fill up the big one
1,5
1,0
0,1
3,1
0,4
