you pour from the barrel to the three gallon container then from the 3 gallon container to the 5 gallon container. then once again from the barrel to the 3 gallon then pour as much from the 3 gallon into the 5 gallon as you can. you will be left over with 1 gallon in the smaller container

The first answer is correct! You pour the 3 gallon into the 5 gallon then fill the 3 gallon up again and put it into the 5 and your left with 1 gallon in the 3 gallon container.
