Concept:

The water-cement ratio is the ratio of the weight of water to the weight of cement used in a concrete mix. It is a key factor influencing the strength, durability, and workability of concrete.

Calculation:

A standard bag of cement in most countries, weighs 50 kg.

If the water-cement ratio is 0.6, this means for every 1 kg of cement, 0.6 kg of water is required. Therefore, for a 50 kg bag of cement:
Water required = 0.6 × 50 kg = 30 kg of water.
