Answer 2

Answer:

            -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

                                   let the number be x

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

                                 ⇒ -1/2x= 1/8 ÷1/2

                                ⇒ -1/2x= 1/4

                               ⇒   -x = 1/4 ÷ 1/2

                                ⇒  x = -1/2
