    Here, I will give you a simple way to calculate the weight of different ingredients in a mortar.

    • The mortar ratio is 1:3, it simply means that the 1 part of cement is present and 3 part of sand is present in that type of mortar.
    • Consider, w/c ratio = 0.4
    • We are doing all calculation for 1kg of mortar.

    1 part = 1/(0.4+1+3) = 0.227

    Water Required =0.25 x 0.227 = 0.056kg

    Cement= 0.2247 kg

    Sand =3.15 x0.227 = 0.717 kg

    Thank You.
