Best Answer

-- The empty jug weighs 0.5 lb.

-- With 3c of water in it, the total weight is 2 lb. The water alone must weigh 1.5 lb.

-- Water in general must weigh 1.5/3 = 1/2 lb per cup.

-- 'x' cups of water alone weighs x/2 lbs.

-- The jug with 'x' cups of water in it weighs [ x/2 + 1/2 ] lbs.
