Measuring water in kilograms can be done using the concept of density. The density of water is approximately **1 kg per liter** at standard temperature and pressure.

Therefore, to convert the volume of water in liters to kilograms, you can use the following relationship:

Measurement Conversion:
1. **Volume to Weight**:
- 1 liter of water = 1 kg
- Therefore, if you have a certain volume of water (in liters), it can be directly converted to kilograms.

For example, if you have 5 liters of water, it would weigh approximately 5 kg.

Practical Measurement:
In practical applications, you can measure water in a container that has a known volume (in liters) and then convert that volume into kilograms using the conversion mentioned above.

Example:
- If a recipe calls for 10 liters of water, you can say it weighs about *10 kg*.

This method is commonly used in construction and other fields where water needs to be accurately measured for mixing with other materials.

The volume of 1 cement bag is 35 L.
20bags = 20x50 kg
= 1000kg=1 tons.

How is 20 bags of cement is 1 ton?

It should be 1 Quintel.

Admixtures and water measured in litre not aggregates.

Option b is also correct.

As 1529.20 kg = 1 m3.

So, we can convert kg into m3 and then we easily convert m3 into litres.

How can aggregate measure by the liter.

Abdul said:   6 years ago
Which one is the correct option?

Aggregate is measured by weight but water is measured by a litre.

I think in option B that will be admixture not aggregates.
