Imagine you are the head chef at a large restaurant that serves hundreds of people every

day. One of your soup recipes calls for exactly 4 gallons of water, but you only have a

3-gallon bucket and a 5-gallon bucket. You need to use the two buckets to measure the

correct amount of water.

• You can fill the buckets and pour them out as many

times as you need to.

• You cannot mark the water level in either bucket.

3 gal

• You cannot estimate how much water is in each bucket.

List the steps you take to measure out exactly 4 gallons of water for your recipe.

Now try another problem. You have a 9-gallon bucket,

a 4-gallon bucket, and a 2-gallon bucket.

List the steps you take in order to have 1 gallon of

water in the 4-gallon bucket and 1 gallon of water

in the 2-gallon bucket. What steps did you follow?
