Question

if u subtract 1/2 from a number and multiply the result by 1/2, you get 1/8 . what is the number?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 3/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Answer:

1/2(x-1/2) = 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

x-1/2=1/4

Now, when 1/2 go in right side it will become negative to positive.

So we will add 1/2 to 1/4.

1/4+1/2 = 3/4

Hence,

x = 3/4

This is ur answer.
