Answer:

[tex]Number\ is\ \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

Subtract 1/2 from x = (x - 1/2)

Multiply 1/2 to the result = 1/2(x - 1/2)

The result is 1/8

That is,

            [tex]\frac{1}{2}( x - \frac{1}{2}) = \frac{1}{8}\\\\( x - \frac{1}{2}) = \frac{1}{8}\times \frac{2}{1}\\\\(x-\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{1}{4}\\\\x = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{2}\\\\x = \frac{3}{4}[/tex]
