Answer:

7.5 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of sand to cement = 24kg : 5kg

Today he needs to make the same type of mortar mix, but he will use 36kg of sand.

Let

x = quantity of cement used

Ratio of sand to cement = 36 kg : x kg

Equate both ratios

24 kg : 5 kg = 36 kg : x kg

24/5 = 36/x

Cross product

24 * x = 5 * 36

24x = 180

x = 180/24

x = 7.5

x = quantity of cement used = 7.5 kg

What is the benchmark fraction of 7/10 x 16
Tomtit [17]
Lets change "16" by its to 16/1 .. since nothing can't help support 16 by itself when it is going into 7/10

Now that we change that ... your problem becomes 7/10 × 16/1

7/10 × 16/1 = 11 1/5

Because
7(16) / 10(1) = 112/10
Now lets go. to how we solve the for the answer

112/10 = 11 1/5
