Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}$ is the number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be $x$

According To Question,

($x$ - $\frac{1}{4}$) × $\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{1}{8}$

$\frac{4x - 1}{4}$ × $\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{1}{8}$

$\frac{4x - 1}{8}$ = $\frac{1}{8}$

8 × (4$x$ - 1) = 8

32$x$ - 8 = 8

32$x$ = 8 + 8

32$x$ = 16

$x$ = $\frac{16}{32}$

$x$ = $\frac{1}{2}$
