Math - how much do 1 1/2 bricks weigh?
 
If a brick weighs 1 lb. + 1/2 brick, how much does 1 1/2 bricks weigh?

lendaddy 09-11-2007 10:04 AM
3 lbs

1+1/2x=x x=2 1.5*2=3

Len = the winner!

Nope. So far, no cigar.
Oops. Yup.

x = 1 + (1/2)x

We first have to know if the two bricks are identical.

lendaddy 09-11-2007 10:22 AM
So how is it not three? The formula proves the brick at 2lbs, yes?

the 09-11-2007 10:23 AM
Yes.

Don't mess with the Daddy. He knows his 5th grade math!

Mess with Terry, instead.

Except Terry knows how to use the Delete feature! So now my post makes no sense.

A brink is two halves, at 1 lb each, total is 3

cashflyer 09-11-2007 10:34 AM

Never posted. ;)

I solved for 2 different weight bricks. 2 variables. I tend to over think things.

And the answer is?

Porsche-O-Phile 09-11-2007 11:01 AM
With or without a standard 3/8" mortar joint? Type N or Type S mortar? ;)
