If the total volume of concrete is 1 m³ and the required volume of cement is calculated as 0.15 m³, how would you find the volume of aggregates?
💡 Hint: You may need assumed values for the water and admixtures based on typical ratios.
Given a mix with the following contents: 400 kg of cement, 200 kg of water, specific gravity of cement is 3.15, and specific gravity of aggregate is 2.7. Calculate the total volume of your mix.
💡 Hint: Remember to convert kg to m³ for all components.
