Question

If you subtract ½ from a number and multiply the result by ½, you get 1/8 what is the number...???​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let us consider the number be x

As per the given condition

If we subtract 1/2 from a number and multiply the result by 1/2, then we get 1/8.

So the equation becomes

⇒ (1/2)(x – 1/2) = (1/8)

⇒ (x – 1/2) = (1/4)

⇒ 4x – 2 = 1

⇒ 4x = 3

Hence x = 3/4

Therefore 3/4 is the number from which if we subtract 1/2 from a number and multiply the result by 1/2, we get 1/8.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required number be k

First subtracting ½ from k , so the result found is k - ½

A/Q → ( k - ½ ) × ½ = 1/8

→ k - ½ = 2/8

→ ( 2k - 1 ) / 2 = 1/4

→ 2k - 1 = ½

→ 2k = ½ + 1

→ 2k = 3/2

k = 3/4 ANS.

So the required number is 3/4 .
