Question

If you subtract 1/8 from a number and multiply the result by 1/4, you get 1/16 what is the number

Answer 1

Hiii friend,

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 = 1/16


8X -1/8 × 1/4 = 1/16


8X-1/32 = 1/16


16(8X-1) = 32

128X - 16 = 32


128X = 32+16

128X = 48


X = 48/128 = 3/8

Number = X = 3/8

HOPE IT WILL HELP YOU..... :-)
