Question

Af you subtract 1/2 from a number and
mutiply the result by 1/4, you get 1/6. Find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=7/48

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number is x

According to the question ,

{x- 1/2} × 1/4 = 1/6

2x-1/2 ×1/4 =1/6

2x - 1 / 8 = 1/6

2x=1/6+1/8

2x=8+6/48

x=14/48×2

x=7/48

Answer 2

Answer:

$(x - \frac{1}{2} ) \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{6}$

$\frac{2x - 1}{2} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{6}$

$\frac{2x - 1}{8} = \frac{1}{6}$

$12x - 6 = 8$

$12x = 14$

$x = \frac{14}{12}$

$x = \frac{7}{6}$
