Maths Q help please! :)

In my cellar, I have a wine collection containing red and white wine only. Sadly, some of the wine is corked and therefore undrinkable; the rest is drinkable.

There is five times as much drinkable white wine as corked red wine.
There is eight times as much drinkable red wine as corked white wine.
There is six times as much drinkable wine as corked wine.
In what ratio does my cellar contain red and white wine?

Thanks in advance! :smile:
