Correct Question?

If you subtract 1/2 from a number and multiply the result by 1/2 you get 1/8. What is the number?

Solution:-

$\large \underline {\sf{ \red{Given:- }}}$

• If you subtract 1/2 from a number and multiply the result by 1/2 you get 1/8.

$\large \underline {\sf{ \blue{To \: Find:- }}}$

• What is the number?

$\large \underline {\sf{ \orange{Directions:- }}}$

$\sf \purple{Let:- }$

• Let us consider the number be x

$\sf \purple{According \: To \: Question:- }$

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

✿So the equation becomes

$\leadsto \mathtt{ \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{x - 1}{2} = \frac{1}{8} }$

$\implies \mathtt{ \frac{x - 1}{2} = \frac{1}{4} }$

$\implies \mathtt{ 4x – 2 = 1}$

$\implies \mathtt{ 4x = 3}$

$\implies \mathtt{ x = \frac{3}{4} }$

$\large{ \pink{ \boxed{ \sf{Hence, The \: number \: is \: \frac{3}{4} }}}}$
