Answer:
3/4
Explanation:
Use x for the equation: (x - 1/2)*1/2 = 1/8
Just go backwards
1/8 is the result, and to get it, you multiply by 1/2, so instead of that, you divide 1/8 by 1/2 instead (Dividing a number by a fraction is the same as multiplying it by its reciprocal. The reciprocal of 1/2 is 2): (1/8)/(1/2) = 1/8 * 2 = 2/8 = 1/4, now since we subtracted 1/2, we add instead: 1/4 + 1/2 = 1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4
