You would have: 1 part cement 5 parts of Ballast (Sand, gravel mix) And then add water till you get the disired mix quality
one part hydrated lime, three parts medium grade sand, two parts Portland cement and water as required or needed
Sand / cement ratio = 3 , that means: 1 part of cement to 3 parts of sand by volume , with sufficient water to get workable mixture.
8 kilos sand to the 2 kilos cement.
There are multiple mixes of concretes for different uses. A common standard mix is 3:2:1 mix 3 parts aggregate, 2 parts sand, 1 part portland cement, mixed with about 1 part water (don't make the slurry too wet), just enough to wet the material and cause it to adhere in a mass plus a little bit. A mix I like is a 3:1-1/2:1 mix. It's a little bit tougher mix. for mortar again a 3:2:1 mix of sand, cement, lime with just enough water to make it workable. For grouts I'll use a little less sand or a fine beach sand, if it's not sticky enough I'll increase the cement.

3 parts grano to 1 part cement add neat water sparingly till desired mix
one part cement to four parts of sharp sand
8 kilos sand to the 2 kilos cement.
Add the water to the cement, a little at a time as you mix.

16/23 parts mix.
Concrete :- a mix of cement, sand, water, and gravel. Mortar :- a mix of cement, sand, and water
Concrete :- a mix of cement, sand, water, and gravel. Mortar :- a mix of cement, sand, and water
Cement reacts with water (this reaction is known as hydration).
