Let the number be "x"
x-1/2 is the difference
When multiplied by 4 it becomes 4(x-1/2)
The result is 5
Therefore
=>4(x-1/2)=5
=>4x-2=5
=>4x=5+2
=>x=7/4
The answer is 7/4
x-1/2 is the difference
When multiplied by 4 it becomes 4(x-1/2)
The result is 5
Therefore
=>4(x-1/2)=5
=>4x-2=5

let no. is x then according to given condition we have
(x-1/2)×4=5
2x-1=5/2
2x= 7/2
x=7/4
(x-1/2)×4=5
2x-1=5/2
2x= 7/2
x=7/4
