Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the number be x

(x-1/2)×1/2=1/8

(x-1/2)=1/8×2/1

x=1/4+1/2

x=1+2/

x=3/4

Solved

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

and let the result that come by subtracting 1/4 and number be y

according to the question

1/4-x=y

and

y*1/4=1/8

y=1/8 divided by 1/4

y=1/8*1/4

y=1/2

now put 1/2 in y

1/4-x=1/2

-x=1/2-1/4

-x=2-1/4

x= -1/4

so the answer is -1/4
