A concrete mix contains 350 kg of cement and 175 litres of water per cubic metre. What is the water to cement ratio?

  • A.0.50
  • B.0.35
  • C.2.0
  • D.0.175

Answer: A

Dividing 175 by 350 gives 0.50. Ratios below about 0.45 are usual where durability matters, while much above 0.6 gives a porous paste of limited strength. The ratio is the single most influential number in a mix design.
