Answer 2

${\huge{\underline{\green {\sf{Answer}}}}}$

${\underline{\orange{\rm{Given:}}}}$

• $\dfrac {1}{8}$ is subtracted from a number.
• And then multiplied by $\dfrac {1}{4}$
• The result we got is $\dfrac {1}{6}$

${\underline{\orange{\rm{Find:}}}}$

• The number.

${\underline{\orange{\rm{Solution:}}}}$

Let the number be x,

Now, substituting the values ,

➫$(x - \dfrac {1}{8} )× \dfrac {1}{4} = \dfrac {1}{6}$

➫$(8x - \dfrac {1}{8} )= \dfrac {1}{6}×\dfrac {4}{1}$

➫$8x - 1 =\dfrac {2}{3}× 8$

➫$8x = \dfrac {16}{3}$

➫$8x = \dfrac {16}{3}+ 1$

➫$8x = \dfrac {16+3}{3}$

➫$8x = \dfrac {19}{3}$

➫$x = \dfrac {19}{3}×8$

➫$x = \dfrac {152}{3}$

Thus, the number is 152/3
