If a brick weighs 1 lb plus half a brick how much does 1 and 1 half bricks weigh?

Answer 1

If a brick weighs 1 lb, then half a brick would weigh 0.5 lb. Therefore, 1 and a half bricks would weigh 1 lb (for the full brick) + 0.5 lb (for the half brick) + 1 lb (for the additional brick) = 2.5 lbs.

Answer 2

If a brick weighs 1 pound plus half a brick, then the 1 pound is half a brick.

So a whole brick weighs 2 pounds.

One and one half bricks weigh (1.5 x 2) = 3 pounds.
