			While getting ready to bake his famous bread, the wunder-loaf, for the teacher's pot-luck dinner tonight, poor old Uncle Otto broke his last measuring cup. The recipe calls for 7 cups of white flour and 4 cups of whole wheat, and all he has left to measure with are three old canning jars, one that holds 3 cups, one that holds 5 cups, and one that holds 9 cups. Uncle Otto feels certain that if he could just put his mind to it, he could figure out a way to use those old jars to measure out the amounts he needs. Today's challenge: Can you tell Uncle Otto how to use his canning jars to measure out 7 cups of white flour and 4 cups of whole wheat?
