A snowplow removes three fourths of the snow each time that it goes down a road. If a road starts with 24
inches of snow on it, determine how many times the road would need to be plowed in order for there to be less
than 1/2 inch of snow left on the road.

The answer I think is 47 times I’m not certain though

After 94/3 times, the snow left on the road will be less than 1/2 inch if the snowplow removes three-fourths of the snow each time.

What is a fraction?

Fraction number consists of two parts, one is the top of the fraction number which is called the numerator and the second is the bottom of the fraction number which is called the denominator.

Let's suppose the after x times the snow left on the road is less than 1/2 inches

Each time, the snowplow removes 3/4 of the snow.

Then according to the problem:

24 - 3x/4 = 1/2

3x/4 = 24 - 1/2

3x/4 = 47/2

3x/2 = 47

x = 47(2)/3 = 94/3 times

Thus, after 94/3 times, the snow left on the road will be less than 1/2 inch if the snowplow removes three-fourths of the snow each time.
