Solution

The ratio of cement, sand, and gravel is 3:6:8. This means for every 17 parts (3+6+8) of concrete, there are 3 parts cement, 6 parts sand, and 8 parts gravel.

To find out how much of each ingredient is needed for 850 cubic yards of concrete, you need to divide 850 by the total parts of the ratio, which is 17.

850 cubic yards / 17 = 50 cubic yards. This is the size of each part.

Then, multiply this number by the number of parts for each ingredient:

  • Cement: 50 cubic yards/part * 3 parts = 150 cubic yards
  • Sand: 50 cubic yards/part * 6 parts = 300 cubic yards
  • Gravel: 50 cubic yards/part * 8 parts = 400 cubic yards

So, to make 850 cubic yards of concrete, you need 150 cubic yards of cement, 300 cubic yards of sand, and 400 cubic yards of gravel.
