What value could be added to 2/15 to make the sun greater than 1/2?
A. 1/15
B. 8/30
C. 5/15
D. 8/15
Sum*
well, 2/15 = 4/30
and 1/2 = 15/30
so, whaddaya think?
2/15 + n > 1/2.
n > 1/2 - 2/15,
n > 15/30 - 4/30,
n > 11/30.
Add any number greater than 11/30.
5/15 = 10/30(too small).
To find the value that could be added to 2/15 to make the sum greater than 1/2, we need to add fractions.
First, let's add 2/15 to each option:
A. 2/15 + 1/15 = 3/15
B. 2/15 + 8/30 = 4/15
C. 2/15 + 5/15 = 7/15
D. 2/15 + 8/15 = 10/15
Now, we can see that the only option in which the sum is greater than 1/2 is option D, 10/15.
Therefore, the value that could be added to 2/15 to make the sum greater than 1/2 is 8/15.
