Answer: [tex]100\ cm^3[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The ratio of mixture of sand and cement is 5:3
If the total volume of mixture is [tex]160\ cm^3[/tex]
Suppose there is 5x and 3x cubic centimeter of sand and cement respectively i.e.
[tex]\Rightarrow 5x+3x=160\\\Rightarrow 8x=160\\\Rightarrow x=20\ cm^3[/tex]
Sand [tex]5x=5\times 20=100\ cm^3[/tex]
So, there is [tex]100\ cm^3[/tex] of sand in the mixture
