Let the original number be ‘x’
Then half of that number= 1/2x or simply x/2
Similarly one fifth of that number = x/5
According to the question
x+x/2+x/5=51
Taking LCM
10x/10+2x/10+5x/10=51
Multiplying 10 throughout
10x+2x+5x=510
17x=510
x=510/17
Therefore x=30

Explain how you can find the missing number in 3 4/5 divided by ( blank) equals 2 5/7.
skad [1K]
First make fractions.
2 5/7 = 19/7
3 4/5 = 19/5

19/7*x=19/5
Multiply 7 to other side (7*19/5=133/5)
Multiply 5 to other side (5*19=95)
95x=133
133 divided by 95 yields 1.4

The answer is 1.4
