If we subtract 1 2 from a number and multiply the result by 1 2 , we get 3 8 . What is the number? Options: A . &nbsp1 B . &nbsp2 C . &nbsp1.25 D . &nbsp1.5

Answer: Option C : C Let the number be y . ( y − 1 2 ) × ( 1 2 ) = ( 3 8 ) ( y − 1 2 ) = ( 3 4 ) y = 3 4 + 1 2 = 3 4 + 2 4 = 5 4 = 1.25

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
