Concrete hardens as a result of the chemical reaction between cement and water so that for every 4 lbs of cement 1 lb of water is needed. The ratio is therefore 1:4 or 20%. This mix will be too dry so more water is needed than is technically necessary, the ratio should therefore be 35% to 40% and using a plasticizer
1 cubic yd of a concrete mixture contains about 500 hundred lbs of cement
The answer is, remarkably, 6. Answer: "6 sack" or "6 bag mix" has six bags of cement per cubic yard of concrete mix. Since each sack/bag contains 94 lbs of dry cement, this equals 564 lbs of cement per cubic yard of concrete.
This question has been answered already. The answer given was:Depending on the relative proportions of water, sand, stone, and cement, the weight per cubic yard can vary from less than 2000 lbs to nearly 3500 lbs; I would estimate most commercially (truck) delivered concrete would run close to 3300 lbs per cubic yard - remember there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard!
about the same as a gallon of water: 8+ lbs

A U.S. bag (or sack) of cement contains 94 lbs. Note this is for cement not premixed concrete where you just add water. The origin of 94 lbs/sack for cement comes from 1 cubic foot of loosly bagged cement weighs approximately 94 lbs; they were originally (and perhaps still) measured out by volume, but for weight calculations, the weight of 94 lbs became standardized.

144 lbs per cubic foot if I remember what my dad told me

64 ounces in 2 quarts, so 64/25=2.56 ounces of water per pound
3 lbs
1000 lbs of water weighs 1000 lbs.
There is no true measurement for lbs. of live rock to gallons of water. The rule usually states 1lbs per gallon but that can be too much. You do not want to displace too much water.
This can vary do to the mixture of sand, stone, cement... but an approximate average would be 3000 lbs
