This I think could be technically answered in a couple of ways. Fill the 4 gallon bucket up and then fill the 7 gallon bucket up 1/7 of the way. Or fill the 4 gallon bucket up and transfer to the 7 gallon bucket and fill the 4 gallon bucket up 1/4 of the way. Either way the 1/4 or the 1/7 will be a close estimate to get your 5 gallon bucket. I hope this helps.
