To separate the iron out, use a magnet. First cover the magnet with a paper towel so the iron will come off after it's out of the mixture, then spread the mixture as thinly as you can and move the magnet covered in the paper towel slowly over or through the mixture. Now you only have salt and sand. Put them in a beaker or cup and add water. Stir or heat until the salt dissolves. Pass the water (with the salt dissolved in it) through a filter to catch the sand. Then heat the water until it all evaporates, leaving only the salt at the bottom of the cup. Now you have the three separate substances.

∙ 12y agoTo separate salt from sand, first you add water to the mixture of salt and sand such that the salt completely dissolves in the water. Then, using filtration, you separate the sound out of the salt solution by passing the solution through filter paper (this leves the sand on the filter paper). The salt solution which passes through the filter into the lower container is then boiled away to evaporate the water and leave salt.
