in container A
Milk=5x1/6 =5/6 water=5x5/6= 25/6
in container B
milk=4x3/8 =12/8 water = 4x5/8 =20/8
incontainer C
milk= 5x5/12 = 25/12 water 5x7/12 =35/12
total milk in NEW container
5/6+12/8+25/12= 53/12
and water = 25/6+ 20/8+35/12=115/12
ratio= 53:115
Milk=5x1/6 =5/6 water=5x5/6= 25/6
in container B
milk=4x3/8 =12/8 water = 4x5/8 =20/8
incontainer C
milk= 5x5/12 = 25/12 water 5x7/12 =35/12
total milk in NEW container
5/6+12/8+25/12= 53/12
and water = 25/6+ 20/8+35/12=115/12
ratio= 53:115
