If a crab and a half weigh a pound and a half, but the half crab weights half as much again as the whole crab, what do half the whole crab and the whole of the half crab weigh?
Click here for the answer! 2.1 pounds. The 'whole crab' must weigh 0.6 pounds, and the 'half crab' 0.9 pounds, totaling 1 1/2 pounds. If the former were halved and the latter doubled, the weights would then be 0.3 and 1.8 pounds, totaling 2.1 pounds. Tell a Friend to Visit Free Tell-a-Friend by Bravenet.com
