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

Step-by-step explanation:

If we subtract 1/2 from a number and multiply the result by 1/2, then we get 1/8. Therefore 3/4 is the number from which if we subtract 1/2 from a number and multiply the result by 1/2, we get 1/8.

Answer 2

$Let \: the \: number \: be \: x \:$

$\\ \\ Given \: that,$

$= > If \: we \: substract \: \frac{1}{2} \: from \: the \: number ,$

$= > and \: multiply \: the \: result \: by \: \frac{1}{2}$

$= > we \: get \: \frac{1}{8}$

$\\ \\ therefore,$

$= > \frac{1}{2} (x - \frac{1}{2} ) = \frac{1}{8}$

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

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

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

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

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

$\\ \\ :-Number \: is \: \frac{3}{4} .$
