In this hypothetical problem written by Richard Rusczyk:
Tweedledum says, "The sum of your weight and twice mine is 361 pounds." Tweedledee says, "Contrariwise, the sum of your weight and twice mine is 362 pounds." If they are both correct, how much do Tweedledum and Tweedledee weigh together?
Tweedledum and Tweedledee weigh 120 and 121 pounds respectively.
(NB: Tweedledum and Tweedledee never actually had this converstion, and in the original book their weight remains a mystery...)
To get Tweedledee's side of it, divide 361 by 2 to get 180.5 lbs. Since they are the same exact size and age in proportion to their body size, shape, and age, then they are both 180.5 lbs. To find half of 361 lbs., just divide it by 2. To get Tweedledee's side of it, do the same for that number, and you get 181 lbs. They are arguing with one another as to what their weight is.
Tare weight is the weight of the empty container. A tare function enables a scale to account for the weight of the container and display only the additional weight of the contents.
weight x distance = work
The weight is 10 pounds + 5 pounds which is equal to 15 pounds.
The appropriate unit for weight is a Newton.
nd twice mine is 362 pounds. How much do each of Tweedledum and Tweedledee weigh? Tweedledum weighs 140 pounds and Tweedledee weighs 221 pounds.
In Lewis Carroll's book, Through the Looking Glass, the brothers are referred to as 'Tweedledum and Tweedledee', so Tweedledum comes first.But (contrariwise) in Disney's 1951 animated film, they are called 'Tweedledee and Tweedledum', so Tweedledee comes first.
To get Tweedledee's side of it, divide 361 by 2 to get 180.5 lbs. Since they are the same exact size and age in proportion to their body size, shape, and age, then they are both 180.5 lbs. To find half of 361 lbs., just divide it by 2. To get Tweedledee's side of it, do the same for that number, and you get 181 lbs. They are arguing with one another as to what their weight is.

"Lose some weight."
In his book, Through the Looking Glass, Lewis Carroll describes Tweedledum and Tweedledee as 'brothers'. But as they are so alike, it is reasonable to assume that they are identical twins.
