Answer: There are a few answers but this is only one!:
First you dump out the 3 gallon jug. Second you dump some of the 5 gallon jug's water into the 3 gallon jug so the 3 gallon jug is completly full. Dump out the 3 gallons. Now you have 2 gallons of water held in the 5 gallon jug. Pour the 2 gallons into the 3 gallon jug. Fill up the 5 gallon jug and pour some of the water of the 5 gallons into the 3 gallon container. Now dump out the 3 gallon jug. You now have 4 gallons held in the 5 gallon jug!
