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.

i'll go for three pound, but i bet i'm wrong : )
If B = 1 + .5B, then 1.5B = 1.5 + .75B.

So a brick and a half weighs 1.5 pounds plus 3/4 of a brick.
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.
36 ozs or 2 1/4 lbs?
So B = 2, and 1.5B = 3; shooty is correct.
