1/2 - 2/15= 15-4/30 = 11/30 this means that if you were to add 11/30 to 2/15 is exactly equal to 1/2, to fully answer your question you can use any value above that like 12/30 (keep in mind you have to simplify) = 6/15 = 2/5. But then again your question says to add any number to make it greater than 1/2 so technically you could just add 100 or 200 or 1/2 to make the sum of it greater than one half
Answer:
so i only graphed, i know how to solve and everything but i just graphed bc what the question asked for.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: it will take 2.33 hours for the snow fall in both of the towns be equal.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of hours that it will take for the snow fall in both of the towns be equal.
A town accumulated 2 inches of snow and the depth is increasing by 6 inches every hour. This means that in x hours, the depth of snow in the town would be
6x + 2
A nearby town has accumulated 9 inches of snow and the depth is increasing by 3 inches every hour. This means that in x hours, the depth of snow in the town would be
3x + 9
For the snow fall in both of the towns be equal, the number of hours would be
6x + 2 = 3x + 9
6x - 3x = 9 - 2
3x = 7
x = 7/3 = 2.33 hours
