$\huge \underline{\sf{\color{fuchsia}{Solution:}}}$

Let, the number be X

According to the question:

$\blue{ \implies}$(x – 1/2) × ½ = 1/8

$\blue{ \implies}$x/2 – ¼ = 1/8

$\blue{ \implies}$x/2 = 1/8 + ¼

$\blue{ \implies}$x/2 = 1/8 + 2/8

$\blue{ \implies}$x/2 = (1+ 2)/8

$\blue{ \implies}$x/2 = 3/8

$\blue{ \implies}$x = (3/8) × 2

→ x = ¾
