Question

800 kg of mortar consists of 55% sand, 33% cement and rest lime. What is the ratio of sand, cement and lime in the mortar?

Answer 1

Answer:

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 80012%×800

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

100

12

×800

Amount of lime = 9696

Hence the mass of lime in mortar is 96 kg
