11.2 - water
28.8 - milk
x - qty of water to be added
28.8/(40+x)=60/100
28.8/(40+x)=3/5
144=120+3x
x=8

First we need to find the amount of milk

72/100 * 40 = 28.8
amount of water = 40 -28.8 = 11.2

to get 60% milk by weight we need to add more water to increase water content in mixture
Let w be the additional water added
60/100 = 28.8 / 40 + w
6/10 = 28.8/40+w
288 = 240 + 6w
w = 8 lts (ANSWER)
"Single Malt is better than Blended"
