Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

An aggregate sample has a weight of 1000 grams. After the ACV test, the weight of crushed material is 250 grams. Calculate the ACV percentage.

💡 Hint: Remember the formula to calculate percentage.

Question 2

The ACV test shows two different aggregates with values 20% and 40%. Discuss which aggregate would be more suitable for a high-traffic road.

💡 Hint: Reflect on the importance of strength in high-traffic applications.
