Question: If a brick weighs three pounds plus half a brick, how much does a brick and a half weigh!?
Answers:
Nine pounds!. If a brick weighs three pounds plus half a brick, then a brick weighs six pounds (three pounds plus half of six pounds)!. So a brick and a half must weigh nine pounds (six pounds plus half of six pounds)!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

The first answer was correct - 9 lbs!.

A brick weighs 6 pounds - that's 3 pounds plus half a brick (another 3 pounds)!. 3+3 = 6

A brick and a half would be 6 pounds plus another half (3) = 9!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

It would weigh (3 pounds+half a brick)*1!.5

The actual weight was not given (it is an infinite loop), therefore, an accurate answer is unattainable!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

x2

1brick = 3lbs + 1/2 brick = 1!.5lbs = 4!.5lbs
1brick +1/2 = 4!.5lbs + 1!.5lbs = 6lbs

1 brick & 1/2 weighs twice as much as what you originally suggested!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

its not possible for a brick to weigh 1 1/2 times itself !
it can only weigh its own weight, pure and simple!.

9 lbsWww@Enter-QA@Com

brick = 3lbs + 1/2 brick

so 1/2 brick = 3 lbs

so 1 1/2 bricks = 9lbsWww@Enter-QA@Com

4!.5 + 2!.25 = 6!.75

A brick and a half ways 6!.75lbs!.

A brick = 3lbs!. (1 brick) + 1!.5lbs!. (1/2 a brick) = 4!.5lbs!.
Half a brick = 4!.5lbs (1 brick)/2 = 2!.25lbs!.

4!.5lbs!. (1 brick) + 2!.25lbs (1/2 a brick) = 6!.75lbs!.

A brick and a half weighs 3 pounds plus half a brick!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
