we have the equation

$8(1)/(2)\colon(1)/(x)=51$

step 1

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

so

8 1/2=8+1/2=17/2

substitute

$\begin{gathered} (17)/(2)\colon(1)/(x)=51 \\ \text{Multiply in cvross left side} \\ (17x)/(2)=51 \end{gathered}$

Multiply by 2 both sides

17x=102

Divide by 17 both sides

x=102/17

1x=02/17=6

therefore
