40% sand,
40% silt,
20%clay.

Therefore 2 : 2 : 1.
4:1.

The common soil types throughout Wisconsin and found the ratio ranged from 8.1:1 to 1.0:1 (Table 5).

Some of the silt loam soils like Antigo fell near 4:0.1 compared to soils with more clay, like Marathon with a ratio of 7.7:1.

The Right answer is 1:8.

But 1 in 4 is for clay.

For loam, it will be 1 in 8.
