Answer» Let us consider the NUMBER be xAs per the GIVEN conditionIf 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 = 3Hence x = 3/4Therefore 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 |
