Question

if you subsract 1/2 from a number and multiply the result by 1/2 you get 1/8 what is the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hey mate ur answer,

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number to be identified be x

As per the given condition

If we subtract 1/2 from a number and multiply the result by 1/2, 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:

let the number be x

x-1/2

x-1/2*1/2

x-1/4=1/8

x=1/8+1/4

x=1/8+2/8

x=3/8
