Answer 1

Answer:

I will help you to find out the answer

Let us consider the number be x

As per the given condition

If we subtract 1/2 from a number and multiply the result by 1/2, then we get 1/8.

So the equation becomes

⇒ (1/2)(x – 1/2) = (1/8)

⇒ (x – 1/2) = (1/4)

⇒ 4x – 2 = 1

⇒ 4x = 3

Hence x = 3/4

Therefore 3/4 is the number from which if we subtract 1/2 from a number and multiply the result by 1/2, we get 1/8.

Answer 2

Given,

$\[8\frac{4}{8} - 6\frac{2}{8}\]$

Solution,

$\[ = 8\frac{4}{8} - 6\frac{2}{8}\]$

$\[ = \frac{{68}}{8} - \frac{{50}}{8}\]$

$\[ = \frac{{18}}{8}\]$

$\[ = \frac{9}{4}\]$

$\[ = 2\frac{1}{4}\]$
