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.
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...)
Oh, dude, if a fish weighs 10 pounds plus half its weight, it's like solving a math riddle. So, you take the weight, which is 10 pounds, and then add half of it, which is 5 pounds. Math time! 10 + 5 equals 15 pounds. So, the weight of the fish would be 15 pounds. Math is fun, right?
the weight of an elephant(which depends on the age)is 400 pounds.
About 20 pounds
Call the unknown weight of the fish "x". In that case, the statement can be converted into an equation as follows:x = 5 + (1/2)x If you solve this for "x", you get the weight of the fish. (The answer is 10 pounds.)
nd twice mine is 362 pounds. How much do each of Tweedledum and Tweedledee weigh? Tweedledum weighs 140 pounds and Tweedledee weighs 221 pounds.

"Lose some weight."
Let x lb be Tweedledum's weight and y lb be Tweedledee's weight. We can write a system of linear equations: (1) y + 2x = 361 (2) x + 2y = 362. Let's solve this by substitution: first, rewrite equation (1) as y = 361 - 2x, then substitute for y in equation (2) ... x + 2(361 - 2x) = 362 x + 722 - 4x = 362 -3x = 362 - 722 x = -360/-3 x = 120. Now substitute that back into the first equation as rewritten: y = 361 - 2(120) y = 361 -240 y = 121. Tweedledum weighs 120 pounds and Tweedledee weighs 121 pounds. The difference of their weights is one pound.
The weight of 38 pounds of dirt is 38 pounds.
lbs is pounds
The total weight of the boxes is 37 pounds, calculated by adding the weight of the first box (5 pounds) to the weight of the second box (32 pounds).
200 pounds = 90.72 kilograms.
88.9 pounds
The weight of 2 pounds of water is just that--2 pounds. Pound is a unit of weight (or, more formally, force).
Tare weight is the weight of packaging or container that holds a product, deducted from the gross weight to determine the net weight of the product. Tare pounds specifically refer to this weight measurement in pounds.
In pounds? 89.6 kg (2.2 pounds/1 kilogram) = 197 pounds
