1. Answer:

   [tex](x – \frac{1}{2} ) \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{6} [/tex]

   [tex] \frac{2x – 1}{2} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{6} [/tex]

   [tex] \frac{2x – 1}{8} = \frac{1}{6} [/tex]

   [tex]12x – 6 = 8[/tex]

   [tex]12x = 14[/tex]

   [tex]x = \frac{14}{12} [/tex]

   [tex]x = \frac{7}{6} [/tex]

2. Answer:

   x=7/48

   Step-by-step explanation:

   Let the number is x

   According to the question ,

   {x- 1/2} × 1/4 = 1/6

   2x-1/2 ×1/4 =1/6

   2x – 1 / 8 = 1/6

   2x=1/6+1/8

   2x=8+6/48

   x=14/48×2

   x=7/48
