Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:9/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be 'x'

Then, (x-1/2)*1/2=1/8

= x-1/2=1/8*1/2

=x-1/2=1/16

= x=1/16+1/2

= x=9/16

Answer 2

Answer:

☑️Let the required number be x.

[x-(1/2)]×1/2=1/8

Taking the 1/2 to RHS

x-(1/2)=2×(1/8)

x-(1/2)=1/4

Taking-1/2 to RHS

x=(1/4)+(1/2)

=(1/4)+(2/4)

=3/4

The required answer is 3/4✌️❤️✔️
