Question

800 kg of mortar consists of 55 percentage sand, 33 percentage cement and rest lime. what is the mass of lime in mortar

Answer 1

Amount of lime = 800 kg × 12/100
= 96 kg

Answer 2

Answer:

96 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

800 kg of mortar consists of :

Sand=55%

Cement = 33%

Rest is lime

So Lime = 100%-(55+33)%=12%

So, Amount of lime = $12\% \times 800$

Amount of lime = $\frac{12}{100} \times 800$

Amount of lime = $96$

Hence the mass of lime in mortar is 96 kg
