Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

=>$[x-\frac{1}{2} ]\frac{1}{2} =\frac{1}{8}$

=>$x-\frac{1}{2} =\frac{1}{4}$

=>$x=\frac{1}{4} +\frac{1}{2}$

=>x=$\frac{3}{4}$

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
