Question

If we subtract $\frac{1}{2}$ from a number and multiply the result by $\frac{1}{2}$ , we get $\frac{3}{8}$ . What is the number?

Options:

A . 1

B . 2

C . 1.25

D . 1.5

Answer: Option C
:
C

Let the number be $y$ .

$(y - \frac{1}{2}) \times (\frac{1}{2}) = (\frac{3}{8})$

$(y - \frac{1}{2}) = (\frac{3}{4})$

$y = \frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{4} + \frac{2}{4} = \frac{5}{4} = 1.25$
