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:

Step-by-step explanation:

LET THE UNKNOWN NUMBER BE X

(X-1/2)*1/2 = 1/8

X-1/2 = (1/8)/(1/2)

X-1/2 = 2/8

X-1/2 = 1/4

X = 1/4+1/2

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

X = (2+4)/8

X = 6/8

X = 3/4.

HOPE THIS HELPS.

Answer 2

Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

According to the question,

→ (x – 1/2) × ½ = 1/8

=> x/2 – ¼ = 1/8

=> x/2 = 1/8 + ¼

=> x/2 = 1/8 + 2/8

=> x/2 = (1+ 2)/8

=> x/2 = 3/8

=> x = (3/8) × 2

=> x = ¾
