Question

if you subtract 1/4 from a number then multiply the result by 1/4, you got 1/8

Answer 1

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

let number be A

1/4 x A x 1/4 = 1/8

1/4 x 1/4 x A = 1/8

1/16 x A = 1/8

A = 1/8x16/1

A = 1/2

Answer 2

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be A

so 1/4 gets subtracted from A

therefore, 1/4×A×1/4=1/8

=1/4×1/4×A=1/8

=1/16×A=1/8

=A=1/16×8/1

=A=1/2(ans.)
