Fill 13 one take 11 ounces from it(2 left).
Now take 5 ounces from 11 ounce – 6 ounces will be left put 2 ounces from 13 ounces container feed him then. – We get 8 ounces in 13 ounces container
Fill 13ounce from 5 ounces and fill it more from the bottle and then take 5 ounces from it left 8 ounces feed him.
Rest feed the remaining 8 ounces from the bottle and 5 ounces.
All three dealt with
Fill the 13 oz bottle, from it fill the 5 oz bottle and pour the remaining 8 oz from the 13 oz bottle into the 11 oz bottle. Return the 5 oz from the 5 oz bottle to the medicine bottle and fill the 13 oz bottle again. Once you have, again, poured 5 oz from the 13 oz bottle into the 5 oz bottle and have restored it again to the medicine bottle you have an 8 oz servings in each of the medicine bottle, the 11 oz bottle and the 13 oz bottle.
