Answer:
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
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.
