How do you mix 4.5 parts cement to 1 part water?

To mix 4.5 parts cement to 1 part water, first measure out the cement and water using a consistent unit, such as cups or pounds. For every 4.5 units of cement, use 1 unit of water. Combine the cement and water in a mixing container, then stir thoroughly until the mixture reaches a uniform, workable consistency. Adjust the water slightly if needed, but avoid adding too much, as it can weaken the mix.
