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:

-7/8 - x = -5/12

-x = -5/12 + (-8/7)

LCM OF 7 AND 12 IS 84

-x = (-5/12×7/7= -35/84) (-8/7×12/12= -96/84)

-x = -35/84 + -96/84
