Calculating Volume of 1 Bag of Cement

To determine the volume of a 50 kg bag of cement, we need to use the relationship between mass, density, and volume. The formula connecting these quantities is:

Volume = $\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Density}}$

For a standard bag of cement, we are given the mass, and we know the typical density of cement.

• Mass of cement = 50 kg
• Standard density of cement is approximately $1440 \text{ kg/m}^3$

Now, let's substitute these values into the formula to calculate the volume:

Volume = $\frac{50 \text{ kg}}{1440 \text{ kg/m}^3}$

Performing the division:

Volume $\approx 0.03472 \text{ m}^3$

The unit $\text{m}^3$ stands for cubic meters, which is often abbreviated as cum in construction contexts.

Therefore, the volume of a 50 kg bag of cement is approximately 0.0347 cum.

Comparing this calculated value with the given options, we find a close match.
