Question:

We plan to prepare 10 yd3 of concrete using a 1:2.5:4.5 weight ratio of cement–sand–coarse aggregate. The water–cement ratio (by weight) is 0.45. The sand contains 3 wt% water; the coarse aggregate contains 2 wt% water; and 5% entrained air is expected. Determine the number of sacks of cement, tons of sand and coarse aggregate, and gallons of water required.
