Question

if you subtract 1/8 from a number and multiply the reslut by 1/4 you get 1/6 what is the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be X.

Subtract 1/8 from X we get

X - 1/8  

=> 8X - 1/8

Multiply 8X-1/8 by 1/4 we get,

8X-1/8 × 1/4 = 1/6

8X -1/8 × 1/4 = 1/6

8X-1/32 = 1/6

6(8X-1) = 32

48X - 6= 32

48x = 32+6

48x = 38

x = 38/48

x = 38 ÷ 2 / 48 ÷ 2

x = 19/24
