The properties of the aggregates are:

Coarse Fine
Property Aggregate Aggregate
Absorption (moisture content at SSD) 0.5% 0.7%
Moisture content as used in mix 2.0% 6.0%

The amount of water (lb/yd3) that would be

used in the final mix is most nearly: A.

206
B. 222
C. 305
D. 388

2. A 20-acre parcel of land has a rainfall intensity of 1.5

in./hr and a rational method runoff coefficient (C) of
0.10. The flow rate (cfs) for this site is most nearly:

A. 3.0
B. 5.0
C. 7.5
D. 9.0
