To find the value that needs to be added to 6.00 to equal half of 15, follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate [tex]\(\frac{1}{2}\)[/tex] of 15.
[tex]\[
\frac{1}{2} \times 15 = 7.5
\][/tex]
Step 2: Determine what needs to be added to 6.00 to reach 7.5.
[tex]\[
7.5 - 6.00 = 1.5
\][/tex]
Therefore, the value that must be added to 6.00 is [tex]\(1.5\)[/tex].
So, the complete equation is:
[tex]\[
\frac{1}{2} \text{ of } 15 = 6.00 + 1.5
\][/tex]
