Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
A is 3:/5 m = 60% m/w = 3/2 ratio
B is 5/8 m/w which is 61 1/4% milk, but originally was 37.5% = 3/8 milk = 3/5 m/w
C is 171/69 m/w which is 171/240 milk = 57/80 milk = 63 3/4% milk
this is impossible, as mixing 60% with 61 1/4% can't make 63 3/4%
same with mixing 60% with 37 1/2% can't get 63 3/4%
mix an equal amount of A with B to get 63 3/4% means A was 66 1/4% milk, not 60%
