She drank on Tuesday = 5/12 of carton

Total fraction drank = 1/3 + 5/12

Taking LCM to make denominators same:

Total fraction drank = 1/3 * 4/4 + 5/12

Total fraction drank = 4/12 + 5/12

Total fraction drank = 9/12

Reducing the obtained answer we get

Total fraction drank = 3/4

So 3/4 of the carton has been drank.
