Question: Use a 1 : 2 : 3 mix design ( but this time by volume ) to select the weights of cement, fine aggregate, coarse

Use a 1:2:3 mix design (but this time by volume) to select the weights of cement, fine
aggregate, coarse aggregate, and water to produce 50 lbs of concrete. Using the by-volume
approach to produce a certain weight means you will need a bit more info. You can assume the
following: cement bulk density =90 b/ft^3. fine aggregate bulk density =100 b/ft^3. and
coarse aggregate bulk density =110 lb/ft^3. Show your work, then summarize the final weights
below:
Cement Weight:
Fine Aggregate:
Coarse Aggregate:
Water:
If applicable, when determining the amounts by weight, the water:cement ratio is 0.42
