Answer:

  1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Jenny's glass as the unit of volume, the total volume of syrup is apparently ...

  1/3 + 2(1/12) = 6/12 = 1/2 . . . Jenny's glass

The total volume of chocolate milk is ...

  1 + 2 = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . times Jenny's glass

Then the fraction of the total that is syrup is ...

  (1/2)/(3) = 1/6 . . . . of the combined mix is syrup
