Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the other number be x. Then,

According to the question ;

x - 1/2 = (2x - 1) / 2

Now, it is given,

(2x - 1) / 2 × 1/2 = 1/8

=> (2x - 1) / 4 = 1/8

=> 2x - 1 = 4/8

=> 2x - 1 = 1/2

=> 2x = 1/2 + 1

=> 2x = 3/2

=> x = 3/4

Hence, the other number is 3/4
