As an example, pretend you were trying to get three liters of water. You would go like this:

  1. Fill up the five liter bottle.
  2. Pour the five liter bottle into the seven liter bottle. You now have five liters in the seven liter bottle.
  3. Fill the five liter bottle up again.
  4. Carefully pour the water from the five liter bottle into the seven liter bottle. Stop as soon as the seven liter bottle is full.
  5. You had five liters in the seven liter bottle so you were able to pour two more liters in. If you poured two liters out from the five liter bottle, you now have three liters left in the five liter bottle.
