Answer:

His 55 kg of cement is 5 kg short of the 60 kg he needs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r be a ratio useful in determining how much of each ingredient Henry needs:

4/8 of the mix is cement, 3/8 is sand and 1/8 is gravel.

4/8 of the total 120 kg must then be 60 kg made up of cement;

3/8                                 must then be 45 kg made up of sand; and

1/8                                   must then be 15 kg made up of gravel

His 55 kg of cement is 5 kg short of the 60 kg he needs.
