You have a container of warm water (3.72 kg at 45.5 deg Celsius). Find the final temperature if you add 1.15 kg of ice (at 0 deg Celsius) to the water. So this was on a past exam and I kept getting turned around when doing the equation. The correct answer is 15.91 degrees Celsius. However, I was getting something warmer than the initial temperature of the water. When solving this can you possibly point out what my error was.

Thanks
