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

LET THE NUMBER BE x.

A/Q,

(x - 1/2) × 1/2 = 1/8

x - 1/2 = 1/8 ÷ 1/2

x - 1/2 = 1/8 × 2 = 1/4

x = 1/4 + 1/2

x = 3/4

THEREFORE, THE NUMBER IS 3/4

Answer 2

Answer:

here is the answer...........

Step-by-step explanation:

let us consider the number be x

as per the given condition

if we subtract 1/2 from a number and multiply the result by 1/2 , then we get 1/8.

so the equation becomes

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

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

= 4 x-2 = 1

= 4 x = 3

hence x = 3/4

therefore 3/4 is the number from which if we subtract 1/2 from number and multiply the result by 1/2 , we get 1/8
