One cubic meter of concrete is equal to 1.308 cubic yards of concrete. If there are 5 1/2 bags of cement in 1 cubic yard of concrete, there would be 7.2 bags in 1 cubic meter of concrete. These are the 94 pound bags of portland cement or roughly 40kg bags so figure 8 bags total. Some will be left over
Refer to the definition of density: density = mass / volume. Also, each substance has its characteristic density, independent of its size. A pound of cement will have the same density as a ton of cement. And cement is more dense than rice, regardless of how big a chunk of each you take.
You calculate the total cost of 1 cubic meter reinforcement cement for heavy foundation work by adding all of the costs. Essentially you would have to figure out the total of pounds of concrete for 1 cubic meter multiply that by the cost per pound and then add in the cost of labor it takes to pour 1 cubic meter.
Approx. 4500 bees make a pound.
No, not strong enough to weigh a 50 pound object.
Forty five 80 pound bags of cement are needed to make one cubic yard of concrete.
It can be both, depending on packaging. By "cement" you're talking plain ol' Portland Cement for making concrete, correct? In bulk it's a commodity; in 94-pound bags it's a product.
1 94-pound bag of cement is approximately equal to 1 cubic foot.
To answer this question we must first differentiate between concrete and cement. Concrete is the finished product when cement is used. Analogous to bread is the finished product when flour is used. Got it? As to how many cups in a pound of powder, consider that there are 16 ounces to the pound, and eight ounces to a cup. That makes it two cups to the pound of cement. How much concrete that would make is another matter.

An 80-pound bag of premixed cement = .667 cubic feet, or 2/3 of a cubic foot, of concrete. A 60-pound bag of premixed cement = .5 cubic feet, or 1/2 of a cubic foot, of concrete.
No, a 60 pound bag of cement does not weigh the same when it is turned into dried concrete. Once mixed with water and set, the weight of the dried concrete will be slightly more than the original weight of the bag of cement due to the water and other additives in the mixture.
There should be three quarters of a pound of sand. If the cement is reinforced then add 25 percent more.
They both weigh the same, one pound. The difference lies in the volume or amount of feathers and concrete needed to reach that weight. Feathers are much less dense than concrete, so a pound of feathers will take up much more space than a pound of concrete.
80 lb bag yields about 0.6 cu ft per Quikrete specs:fNote: the question really refers to concrete not cement.
From the Portland Cement Association:Bricklayer Joseph Aspdin of Leeds, England first made portland cement early in the 19th century by burning powdered limestone and clay in his kitchen stove. By this crude method he laid the foundation for an industry which annually processes literally mountains of limestone, clay, cement rock, and other materials into a powder so fine it will pass through a sieve capable of holding water. Cement is so fine that one pound of cement contains 150 billion grains.So, I think you could say that cement is a rock (limestone) derivative.
A pound of rice and a pound of cement have the same weight, as they both weigh one pound. However, cement is more dense than rice because it takes up less volume for the same weight.
