W/c ratio means the ratio of the weight of water to the weight of cement so that 0.6 * 50 = 30 kits or kg.

1:3:6, so we multiply by 1*50 Kg cement and 3 fine aggregate * 50 kg, so.

We get 150 kg fine aggregate.

For ratio, 1:3:6 w/c ratio-0.60.
So water required for 1 bag (50 kg) cement is=50*0.60=30 lit.

28% of water is required for the concrete mix and 1 bag of cement = 50 kg.
So, 50*28% = 14 kg.

Please explain correctly, whether 30 is correct or 14 is correct?

If any then explain how.

Abhi said:   10 years ago
Its wrong answer is 30 kg.

How can we take water for aggregate if nothing is mentioned?

Determine the quantities of water needed to mix 150kg of cement used for concrete mix.

Rohit said:   7 years ago
Water=water cement ratio* cement weight.

So, W=0.6*221=133/4.45=30.

Why we take aggregate 150 kg?

3 times of cement? Explain please?
