Question

If 1/2 is subtracted from four times the reciprocal of a number, the result is 0. Find the number.

Answer 1

Answer:

The Number is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

Given:

1/2 is subtracted from four times the reciprocal of a number, the result is 0.

Hence the equation will become like;

$4\times \frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{2}=0$

Now Solving the equation we get.

$\frac{4}{x} -\frac{1}{2}=0\\\\\frac{4}{x} = \frac{1}{2}\\\\x= 4\times 2\\x=8$

Now the we can see the number is 8, when 1/2 is subtracted from 4 times the reciprocal of number means 4/8 which becomes 1/2 and hence when 1/2 is subtracted from 1/2 it equals to 0.

Hence the number is 8.
