Question

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

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

such that,

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

x/2 - 1/4 = 1/8

x/2 = 1/8 + 1/4

x/2 = 2+1/8

x = 3/8 × 2

x = 3/4
