I have 3 jars, one empty 5 liter, one empty 3 liter,and one full 8 liter jar-how do I measure exactly4 liters?

the 8 liter jar is filled with apple cider - i am trying to measure 4 liters of cider without throwing any out.

Sorry, I misunderstood the first time. Try it like this.

Pour 3L from the 8L jar into the 3L jar. Then empty the 3L jar into the 5L jar. Now you have an empty 3L jar, 3L in a 5L jar, and 5L in an 8L jar.

Pour 3L from the 8L jar into the 3L jar again. Now you have 3L, 3L, 2L. Fill the 5L jar from the 3L jar, which will leave 1L in the 3L jar. Then empty the 5L jar back into the 8L jar. Now you have 1L, empty, 7L. Pour that 1L into the 5L jar to get empty, 1L, 7L. Now if you fill the 3L jar from the 8L jar, you'll have 4L left in the 8L jar.
