To calculate the number of cement bags required for a slab of 401 cm³ with a mix ratio of 1:2:4 (cement:sand:aggregate), we need to follow these steps:
Convert Volume to Cubic Meters:
- 401 cm³ = 0.000401 m³
Calculate the Total Parts of the Mix:
- Total parts = 1 (cement) + 2 (sand) + 4 (aggregate) = 7 parts
Determine the Volume of Cement:
- Volume of cement = (1/7) * 0.000401 m³ = 0.0000573 m³
Convert Cement Volume to Bags:
- One bag of cement (50 kg) typically equals 0.035 m³ of concrete.
- Number of bags = 0.0000573 m³ / 0.035 m³ per bag ≈ 0.00164 bags
Given the small volume of 401 cm³, it translates to approximately 0.00164 bags of cement, which is less than one bag. For practical purposes, you would need to scale up the volume or mix to use a full bag of cement.
