Question

Students in the materials class prepared three mortar mixes with water to cement ratios. Three 6cm mortar cubes were prepared for each mix. The cubes were cured for 7 days and then tested for compressive strength in Pa. The test results were as shown. Water cement Ratios are 0.40, 0.50 and 0.60 for mix 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Determine the following:
a. The compressive strength of each cube. (in Pa)
b. The average compressive strength for each mix ( in Pa)
