Answer:


(1)/(2)y>22

Explanation:

The given number is y.

One half means
(1)/(2)

Hence, the statement "one half of a number y" can be written as
(1)/(2)y

Now, it has been given that one half of a number y is more than 22. More than means greater than and it can be represented by the sign >.

Therefore, the statement can be written in inequality form as


(1)/(2)y>22
