Wilda Witchen is planning a party. She wants EXACTLY 8 quibits of swamp water for her haunted swap diarama. Before you can ask her what a quibit is, she hands you 2 containers and shoves you out the door. As you head to the swamp you notice one container is marked 10 quibits and the other is marked 6 quibits. The swamp is a 10 minute walk from Wilda's house and since it will be getting dark soon, you want to get the swamp water and return to Wilda's house as soon as possible.
2A. Explain the steps you will take to measure out the exact amount of swamp water Wilda has requested.
