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:

let the number be x

as per the given condition

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

so the equation became

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

= x -1/2= 1/4

= 4x-2= 1

= 4x= 3

hence x, 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
