What is the process of mixing cements to a primary consistency known as?

  1. Diluting

  2. Luting

  3. Blending

  4. Tempering

The correct answer is: Luting

The process of mixing cement to a primary consistency is known as luting. This involves mixing the cement powder with liquid until it reaches a smooth and workable consistency. Diluting, blending, and tempering are all incorrect because they do not accurately describe the specific process of mixing cement to a primary consistency. Diluting typically means adding more liquid, while blending generally involves mixing two different substances together. Tempering may be associated with creating consistency, but it does not specifically refer to the process of mixing cement.
