Answer is: amount of sugar in milk chocolade is 3333 mg.

To solve this question, make proportion: if 12,00 grams of milk chocolate contain 8,00 grams of sugar, than 5,00 grams contain:

12,000 g : 8,000 g = 5,000 g : m (sugar).

12,000 g · m (sugar) = 8,000 g · 5,000 g.

m (sugar) = 40,000 : 12,000.

m (sugar) = 3,333 g = 3333 mg.
