Answer 1

To make 3 kg of water, we need

0.5 kg water

1 kg cement

1.5kg sand

Explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the mass of each component needed to make 3 kg of mortar

We work with the ratio

Total ratio is:

1 + 2 + 3 = 6

water

1/6 * 3kg = 0.5 kg

cement

2/6 * 3 kg = 1 kg

sand

3/6 * 3 = 1.5 kg
