Answered by admin @



Given that:

  • 1/2 subtracted from a number and multiply the result by 1/2, we get 1/8.

To Find:

  • What is the number?

Let us assume:

  • The certain number be x.

Finding the number:

According to the question.

⟶ (x - 1/2) × 1/2 = 1/8

⟶ (x - 1/2) = 1/8 × 2/1

⟶ x - 1/2 = 1/4

⟶ x = 1/4 + 1/2

⟶ x = 1/4 + 2/4

⟶ x = 3/4

Hence,

  • 3/4 is the required number.
