Best Answer

To separate out the iron fillings, run a magnet over the mixture of iron fillings, sand and water. As iron is a magnetic material, it will stick to the magnet thus allowing you to take it out. Then, run the mixture over a filter funnel with filter paper. After the filtration, the filtrate would be water and the sand would be stuck on the filter paper.
