Cement sand and mortar mix ratios vary by application. If you are working with paving brick, try www.askthebuilder.com. For a brick wall I think that the best ratios are found at http://en.allexperts.com/q/Building-Homes-Extensions-2333/Cement-Sand-Ratio.htm. For a little information about cement and mortar view the link at http://landscaping.about.com/cs/hardscapefences1/f/cement_mixing.htm.
