In mix design, the cement content can be calculated using the water-cement (w/c) ratio and the amount of water used. The correct formula to calculate the cement content is:
Formula:
Cement content = \(\rm \frac{water \ used}{w/c \ ratio}\)
Where:
- w/c ratio is the water-cement ratio of the mix
- water used is the amount of water used in the mix
This formula is derived from the definition of the water-cement ratio, which is the ratio of the weight of water to the weight of cement in a concrete mix.
Therefore, the correct answer is 1
