c) Set x to be the number we need to find; therefore, the inequality to be solved is


\begin{gathered} 1+x>1(1)/(2)=1+(1)/(2)=(3)/(2) \\ \Rightarrow1+x>(3)/(2) \\ \Rightarrow-1+1+x>-1+(3)/(2) \\ \Rightarrow x>(1)/(2) \end{gathered}

Therefore, any number greater than 1/2 (greater, not equal to) satisfies the inequality; particularly 1/1=1>1/2. Thus, 1/1 is a possible answer
