Two jugs contain milk and water in the ratios 3 : 1 and 5 : 3 respectively. Equal quantities from both jugs are poured into a third jug. What is the ratio of milk to water in the third jug?

Explanation
Milk = 3/4 + 5/8 = 11/8 and water = 1/4 + 3/8 = 5/8 per pair of equal portions, so milk : water = 11 : 5.
