    No

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Sum the parts of the ratio, 2 + 3 + 5 = 10 parts

    Divide 220 Kg by 10 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

    220 Kg : 10 = 22 Kg ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus

    2 parts = 2 * 22 = 44 Kg ← quantity of cement needed

    3 parts = 3 * 22 = 66 Kg ← quantity of sand needed

    5 parts = 5 * 22 = 110 Kg ← quantity of gravel needed

    He has the required amounts of cement and sand but not of gravel.

    Thus he cannot mix the concrete
