Answer:

let the number be 'x'

=> (x-1/2) * 1/2 = 1/8

=> x-1/2 = 1/4

=> x = 1/4 + 1/2

       = 3/4

Answer:

x -  \frac{1}{2}  = y \times  \frac{1}{2}  =  \frac{1}{8}  \\  \\ y \times  \frac{1}{2}  =  \frac{1}{8}  \\  \\ y =  \frac{1}{4}  \\  \\ x -  \frac{1}{2}  =  \frac{1}{8}  \\  \\ x =  - \frac{3}{8}
