The answers you get are ridiculous because the question sounds ridiculous.
(it would help if you typed the original question word for word or added a picture of it)
Let us consider some cases:
case 1. (assuming you can use more than one of each tanks and the question demands separate answers for 5 and 3 liters.)
Ans: a. two 5L tanks with 4L water in each
b. three 3L tanks with 8/3=2.667L of water
case 2: (Assuming both tanks are to be used in conjunction)
ans: a 5 litre tank and two 3L tanks with 8/3 L each
case 3: (assuming the cans are to be used just as measuring devices to split the 8L water into equal parts [4L each] )
ans: Take a destination tank of 4L. Fill the five litre tank to the brim and then pour water from it into the three liter can. This will give you 2L water left in the 5L can. Move this to another can where 4L is required ( destination tank). Refill the 5L can with the water from the 3L tank and the remaining water from source tank. Repeat the above step to get another 2L water in the 5L tank. Now pour this into the destination tank. now we have 4L in the destination tank and 4L with us and thus we've divided the water into equal parts.
