To find the 51st term of the given sequence, we can see that the terms are decreasing by 2/5 each time.

8/5 - 2/5 = 6/5
6/5 - 2/5 = 4/5
4/5 - 2/5 = 2/5

Starting with the first term, 2, we can subtract (51 - 1) times 2/5 to find the 51st term.

So, the 51st term would be:

2 - (50 * 2/5) = 2 - 40/5 = 2 - 8 = 1.
