Fill the 3 liter and pour it into the 5 liter. Fill
the 3 liter again, pour what you can into the 5 liter and you'll be
left with 1 liter in the 3 liter container. (3+3=6 6-5=1).

First, you fill up the 3 liter container and pour
it into the 5 liter. Fill up the 3 liter again and pour in 2 liters
in the 5 liter because that's how much can fit. Bingo, now you have
one liter..

Take the 3 liter container and fill it. Pour it into
the 5 liter container. Then refill the 3 liter container and pour it
into the 5 liter container. The overflow is 1 liter. Point to the tabletop
and say, "The milk that spilled over is yours.".

practical approach:

milk into or take the 3 liter container and mark three equal sections
repersenting the 3 liters..
Samantha from Ohio
only fill the 3-liter container 1/3 to equal 1-liter.
Caitlin from California United States
Julia is going to take the 3-liter and devide it evenly in thirds.
She will sell 1/3 to the customer..
Marissa from Massachusetts
Julia can use the 3-liter container. She can divide
the volume of the container by 3 and fill only that much up. That would
equal 1-liter.
