    We can calculate the final temperature from this formula:

    when Tf = (V1 * T1) + (V2 * T2) / (V1 + V2)

    when V1 is the first volume of water = 5 L

    and V2 is the second volume of water = 60 L

    and T1 is the first temperature of water in Kelvin = 80 °C + 273 = 353 K

    and T2 is the second temperature of water in Kelvin = 30°C + 273 = 303 K

    and Tf is the final temperature of water in Kelvin

    so, by substitution:

    Tf = (5 L * 353 K) + (60 L * 303 K) / (5 L + 60 L)

    = 1765 + 18180 / 65 L

    = 306 K

    = 306 - 273 = 33° C
