For a typical concrete mix, the general guideline is to use about 0.4 to 0.6 gallons of water per pound of cement. For 45 pounds of cement mix, you would need approximately 18 to 27 gallons of water. However, the exact amount can vary based on the specific mix design and desired consistency, so it's important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the best results.

How do you determine the ratio of water to cement?
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
How much cement do you need for a yard of concrete?
1 cubic yd of a concrete mixture contains about 500 hundred lbs of cement
A six sack of concrete mix has how much cement in it?
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.
How much sand and how much cement does it take to mix 1 cubic yard?
To mix 1 cubic yard of concrete, a common ratio is 1 part cement, 2 parts sand, and 3 parts aggregate (gravel). This typically translates to approximately 1 sack (94 lbs) of cement, 0.5 cubic yards of sand, and 0.75 cubic yards of aggregate. Adjustments can be made based on specific project requirements or desired strength. Always confirm proportions based on the concrete mix design needed for your application.
What is the weight of 1 yard of Cement?
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!
How much does 3 gallon bucket of cement weigh?
A 3-gallon bucket of cement typically weighs between 40 to 100 pounds, depending on the type of cement mix being used and its water content.

How many pounds in cement bags?
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.

How much live rock is needed per gallon in a salt water tank?
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.
How much does 1 yard of concrete?
This can vary do to the mixture of sand, stone, cement... but an approximate average would be 3000 lbs
