Question

Mortar is made by mixing cement, sand and quicklime in the ration 1:2:3

Answer 1

Answer with step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio for the ingredients is 1:2:3, then the total would be 6. If so, we have to divide 2.1 by 6, which is 0.35. Now, you need to multiply 0.35 to the according ingredient amounts.

Cement: 1 x 0.35 = 0.35

Sand: 2 x 0.35 = 0.70

Quicklime: 3 x 0.35 = 1.05

If you add it up, you will get 2.1, which is the volume.
