Answer 1

Answer:

7.5kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Monday:

Mass of sand = 24 kg

Mass of cement = 5 kg

Tuesday :

Mass of sand = 36 kg

Let mass of cement = c

Mass of cement required to make the same type of mortar mix

Mass of Sand = mass of cement

24kg = 5kg

36kg = c

By cross multiplication :

24 * c = 5 * 36

24c = 180

Divide both sides by 24

c = 180 / 24

c = 7.5 kg

Hence mass of cement required is 7.5 kg
