Answer» ANSWER: Let the number to be identified be x As per the GIVEN condition If we subtract 1/2 from a number and multiply the result by 1/2, 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.

Answer»

Let the number to be identified be x

As per the GIVEN condition

If we subtract 1/2 from a number and multiply the result by 1/2, 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.
