pH and mixing of solutions

I have a pretty basic question but the last time I took Chemistry was in 2007. I am studying the Navy's Nuclear study guide for their interviews and one of the question I am faced with is below.

Determine the final pH and temperature when these two solutions are mixed together in a 3L container.

Sol A: 2L, pH = 3, and 80F

Sol B: 1L, pH = 5, and 40F

Would this be as simple as $(2/3) \cdot 3 + (1/3)\cdot5$ for the pH and $(2/3)\cdot80 + (1/3)\cdot40$ for the temperature?
