The design of a concrete mix requires 2,314 lb/yd3 of gravel having a moisture content of 3.5% and absorption of 4.2%, and 899 lb/yd3 of sand having a moisture content of 5.7% and absorption of 1.4%, and 244 lb/yd3 of free water. What is the weight of the mixing water per cubic yard that should be used at the job site?

Weight of mixing water=224.541 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking 1 cubic yard of concrete

Mass of gravel = 2314 lb

Moisture content = 3.5% Absorption 4.2%

Extra water needed = (4.2-3.5)*2314/100= 16.198 lb

Mass of sand= 899 lb

Moisture content = 5.7% Absorption =1.4%

Water released = (5.7-1.4)*899/100= 38.657 lb

Free water = 244 lb

Weight of mixing water = free water + extra water needed-water released = 244+16.198-38.657=224.541 lb

Weight of mixing water=224.541 lb

step-by-step explanation:

the graph shows 30% of students walk. 80 students were questioned, so the number that said they walk is

30% × 80 = 0.30 × 80 = 24
