Answer 1

Answer:

The number = 3/4

Explanation :

Let the number = x

According to the problem given,

substraction 1/2 from a number and multiply the result by 1/2, you get 1/8

=> (x-1/2)×(1/2) = 1/8

=> x-1/2 = 1/8 × 2/1

=> x - 1/2 = 1/4

=> x = 1/4 + 1/2

=> x = (1+2)/4

=> x = 3/4

Therefore,

Required number = x = 3/4
