Add water while mixing until desired consistency. Despite popular belief, there is no exact formula. It not like cake mix.
That depends on the mix, there are hundreds of different mixes of concrete. A basic mix of concrete (say a blended RC25 mix) has 1000kg of sand, 1000kg of stone, 150kg of OPC cement, 125kg of GGBS slag, 1.3lt of WRA and 75lt of waters PER CUBIC METER. Regards Colin, a Tarmac concrete batcher.
To calculate the weight of ready mix concrete, you can use the formula: Weight = Volume × Density. First, determine the volume of concrete needed, typically measured in cubic meters or cubic feet. Then, multiply this volume by the density of the concrete, which is usually around 2,400 kg/m³ (150 lb/ft³). This will give you the total weight of the ready mix concrete required for your project.
Lean mix concrete is used for substructures like foundations,piles,etc.,Ready mix concrete is used for superstructures and also for mass construction.Generally, quality of ready mix concrete is good when compared to the lean mix concrete.Workability of lean mix concrete is high when compared to RMC.

Concrete mix is made from (sharp)sand, cement, aggregate and water. The ratios depent on the usage

The strength of concrete depends on the mix used to make it- ratio of cement, sand, gravel and water. If the mix does not produce a concrete that is strong enough, the concrete will break.
Its the process of selecting suitable ingredients of concrete and determining their relative amounts with the objective of producing a concrete of the required, strength, durability, and workability as economically as possible, is termed the concrete mix design.
The recommended mortar mix for concrete blocks is a 1:3 ratio of cement to sand.
