1/8 of a number is 56. The number is equal to 448.
let the number=x
1/8 of a number means we have to multiply 1/8 with x.
1/8 of a number =1/8x
now according to the condition, 1/8 of a number is 56 which means that we have 1/8x equal to 56.
1/8x=56
which gives us a simple algebraic equation in a single variable x. we can solve it accordingly .i,e multiplied 8 on both sides of the equation gives
x=56*8
x=448.
