If a brick weighs a pound and a half a brick how much does a brick and a half weigh?

[sandyRoe]

2lb 4oz

[scotman]

2.25

[bibblebub]

x = 1 + .5x => x = 2

=> 1.5x = 3

[sandyRoe]

nope^^^ thats wrong

[sandyRoe]

meant my first answer was wrong^^^

[crisgal]

but we don't know how much the half a brick weighs!!!!!

my head hurts

[dotty.]

2lbs 25ozs? lol that's 3lbs 9 ozs

[scotman]

2.5 now that I understand.

[crisgal]

explain pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease ♥

[scotman]

wrong, it's 3

[dotty.]

i brick is 1ib 8 ozs plus the half of another brick which is 12 ozs, unless they are hand made bricks which vary in weight. so, 1lb 8 ozes plus 12 ozs is 2lbs 4ozs, why is that not right?

[theweedrammer]

I agree with bibblebub, If one brick weighs 1lb and half a brick then as it has two halves, each half must weigh 1lb.

I might be needing sleep here but I don't understand the question...can you split it down easier?

"A brick weighs a pound and a half a brick...."??

[ladyalex]

Bibblebub explains it.

[dotty.]

25 ozs is 1lb 9 ozs,

[sandyRoe]

2 bricks would weigh 3lb 1= 1.5, a brick and a half=2lb 4ozs I was right the first time (I think)

[scotman]

1 brick = 1 pound + half a brick
Therefore 1 brick = 2 pounds

[dotty.]

how can a brick that weighs 1lb 8ozs whole wiegh a 1lb each half? half would be 12 ozs

[theweedrammer]

Dotty - not a pound and a half... but a pound and "half a brick"

[craft1948]

1 brick = 24 ozs
½ brick = 12 0zs
36 ozs = 2lbs 4ozs
