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
