Question

2. If you subtract
1/8 from s number and multiply the result by
1/4 you get
1/16
What is the number.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the number be X.

Subtract 1/8 from X we get,

X - 1/8

=> 8X - 1/8

Multiply 8X-1/8 by 1/4 we get,

8X-1/8 × 1/4 = 1/16

8X -1/8 × 1/4 = 1/16

8X-1/32 = 1/16

16(8X-1) = 32

128X - 16 = 32

128X = 32+16

128X = 48

X = 48/128 = 3/8

Number = X = 3/8
