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

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

I HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU!!!!!
