Given data:
Weight of cement = 1875gm.
Weight of water = 1500gm.
Solution:
Weight of cement = 1875-1500 = 375gm.
% of water = (Weight of cement/Weight of water)*100 = (1875-1500/1500)*100 = 25%.
Weight of cement = 1875gm.
Weight of water = 1500gm.
Solution:
Weight of cement = 1875-1500 = 375gm.
% of water = (Weight of cement/Weight of water)*100 = (1875-1500/1500)*100 = 25%.

0.85*consistency*wt.of cement = wt.of water.

Well prof is right.
While wt.of cement/wt of water will give ratio not %.
While wt.of cement/wt of water will give ratio not %.

Can anyone make the right conclusion with proper evidence please?

Total cement past weight 1875-1500 = 375g.
Weight of cement = 1500g.
Normal consistancy is the the amount of water which mixed in neat cement so that gauge of vicat appartes should be insert in cement past 35mm to 37mm. It takes as a percentage.
So,
Normal consistency of cement or percentage og water is.
375/1500*100 = 25%.
Weight of cement = 1500g.

The percentage = 1875-1500/1500 = 0.25*100 = 25%.

Given: Mass of water 1500g, Mass of paste 1875g and Mass of cement is given by,
1875g - 1500g = 375g.
%Mass of water = (Mass of cement/Mass of water).100%.
= (375/1500).100%.
= (0.25).100%.
= 25% Ans. required.
1875g - 1500g = 375g.
%Mass of water = (Mass of cement/Mass of water).100%.
= (375/1500).100%.
= (0.25).100%.
= 25% Ans. required.

The standard normal consistency of cement is 22% to 30% of weight of dry cement. If satisfied my answer then give a comment on this.

What would be the standard consistency to know good quality of cement?
