Answer:

1/2y > 22

Explanation:

Write an equation for the number y:

1/2 of y is more than 22

1/2 * y is more than 22 ('of' equals multiply)

1/2y = more than 22 ('is' equals a equal sign)

1/2y > 22 ('more' is greater than and not greater than and equal since it doesn't state anything that it could acctually be equal to)

1/2y > 22

(You can solve for y if you need to find the value of the number)
