A typical mixture is three of sand to one of cement. Make a small batch first and check the consistency of it. The wetness of the sand has a lot to do with the consistency. For block and brick work, a bit should squeeze out the side but still support the block or brick with about 3/8 inch above the previous row. Then this side excess is scraped off and pointed with a pointing tool.

Mortar has sand in it. Concrete has cement, sand and stone.
Cement is just the powder used to make mortar and concrete. Mortar has sand in it.
it is typically 5 parts lime, 3 parts sand, 1 part cement, but varies depending on use and situation
Fine sand is best for mortar.

The ratio of sand and cement affects the tensile strength of the concrete. Hence, a ratio of 1:2 (cement to sand) will yield a greater tensile strength than a 1:3 ratio. However, both are acceptable in the formation of concrete.
The ideal ratio for a mortar sand mix in construction projects is typically 1 part cement to 3 parts sand. This ratio helps ensure a strong and durable mortar that is suitable for various construction applications.
The recommended mortar mix for concrete blocks is a 1:3 ratio of cement to sand.
The proportion of the bed mortar should be 4:1 for the sand : cement.

Concrete :- a mix of cement, sand, water, and gravel. Mortar :- a mix of cement, sand, and water
Concrete :- a mix of cement, sand, water, and gravel. Mortar :- a mix of cement, sand, and water
If you mix cement ,sand and water you get mortar If you mix cement and stone pebbles or chips you get concrete Concrete.Sometimes gravel is mixed with it, too.
