Calculate Ratio Mix 1: Calculate the water to concrete ratio for Mix 1. 19 pounds of water ÷50 pounds of concrete = 0.38
Check Ratio Mix 1: Check if Mix 1's ratio is between 0.35 and 0.5. 0.35<0.38<0.5
Calculate Ratio Mix 2: Calculate the water to concrete ratio for Mix 2.34 pounds of water ÷80 pounds of concrete = 0.425
Check Ratio Mix 2: Check if Mix 2's ratio is between 0.35 and 0.5.0.35<0.425<0.5
Determine Meeting Requirements: Determine which mix or mixes meet the paver's requirements.Both Mix 1 and Mix 2 have ratios between 0.35 and 0.5.
