I will assume that temperature of ice is 0°C and room temperature is 20°C

m1C1T1 + m2C2T2 = mCT

(3Kg)(1 kcal/kg°C)(20-0) + (9 kg)(1 kcal/kg°C)(55°-20°C) = (12 kg)(1 kcal /kg°C)(T)
60 + 315 = 12 T
T = 31.25°C

Hope it helps! (At last the methodology)

Good luck!

You will need to know the heat capacity of both water and ice.

Use the equation
q = n x Cn x (Tf - Ti)
where
q = amount of heat energy gained or lost by substance
n = moles of substance
Cn = molar heat capacity (J oC-1 mol-1 or J K-1 mol-1)
Tf = final temperature
Ti = initial temperature

for this question, you will need the Cn for both ice and water as well.
For ice, Cnice = 38.09 J K-1 mol-1
and water, CnH2O = 75.327 J K-1 mol-1

since the heat lost by water must be equal to the heat gain by ice, therefore
nH2O x CnH2O x (55 - Tf) = nice x Cnice x (Tf - 0)
(I'm assuming the initial temperature of ice at 0oC)
nH2O = 3/18
nice = 9/18
Sub it back into the above equation to find Tf.
Pardon me for being too lazy to press my calculator.

The Temperature will decrease therefore the temp will be less the 55 degree C.....

What is the ambient temperature? Is it one block of ice or cubes or what?
