Stick buried in sand under water, half is in sand, third is in water and 1 inch is above water, how long is it

just for fun!

Answers:
So 3/6 is in sand and 2/6 is in water. So 1/6 is above water and thats 1".

Therefore the stick is 6" long
About 150mm!!
12 inches
1 n a half inches

cos 1 inch makes up two thirds of the stick.

If one third of the stick is in Water, then the rest of the stick must be out of the water. Only 1 inch of the stick is out of the water, and this one inch must make up the other two thirds of the stick.

So the stick is 1 and a half inches long.
Six inches
Steven095 is correct 6"
1/2+1/3=5/6
therefore 1/6=1 inch
1 inchx 6=6 inch
therefore the stick is 6 inches (174mm)
I need more details: who buried the stick, what is the diameter of the stick, what color is the stick and finally who cares about the stick?
6 inches, 1 inch is out of the water which is 1/6 of the sticks length.

Therefore 6 x 1 = 6, so the stick is six inches
6 inches
6 inches. a bit short aint it!
1/2 (3/6) in sand
1/3 (2/6) in water
leaves 1/6 left
if 1/6 = 1 inch then length (6/6) = 6 * 1 inch
=> length = 6 inches
the inch above the water is
1/6th,therefore the stick is
6 inches long

i hope that this helps
If half of it is in sand and the other half in water, where does the 1 inch that's above the water come from?
6 inches
1/2 = sand

2/3 = in water

1/6 = above water

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

1/2 + 2/3 + 1/6

6(1/2) + 6(2/3) + 6(1/6)

3 + 2 + 1 = 6

-- - - - - - - - - -

3 Inches is buried in sand

2 Inches in in the water

1 Inch is above the water.

The stick is six ( 6 ) inches long

- - - - - - - s-
The answer 6 is correct;

Call the length of the stick x

One half is in sand and one half is out of sand

Of the half that is out of the sand the amount of the stick covered by water equal to one third of x.

Therefore, one third x plus 1” = one half x

Written mathematically,

x/3 + 1 = x/2

Cross multitpy by 3

x +3 = 3x/2

Cross multitply by 2
2x + 6 = 3x

put the x’s on one side

1x = 6

Therefore the length of the stick is 6”

Good Luck
Good one, easy though. Your stick is 6 inches.
