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)

⇒ 4x – 2 = 1

⇒ 4x = 3

Hence x = 3/4

Answer 2

Answer:

let the number is x

according to given data

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

x-1/2=1/8*2/1

x=4+1/2

=9/2
