Question

1. If you subtract 1/2 from a number and multiply the result by 1/2, you get 1/8. What is the number?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$let \: the \: number \: be \: x$

$let \: the \: answer \: be \: y$

$\: \: \: \:⇒\frac{1}{2} - x = y \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{8}$

$⇒x - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{4}$

$⇒4x - 2 = 1$

$⇒4x = 3$

$hence \: x = \frac{3}{4}$
