Answer

Given, product of three numbers = 7127\dfrac{1}{2}

Two numbers = 1171\dfrac{1}{7} and 3343\dfrac{3}{4}

Let the other number be x.

117×334×x=71287×154×x=1528×157×4×x=15212028×x=152x=15×282×120x=420240x=74x=134.\Rightarrow 1\dfrac{1}{7} \times 3\dfrac{3}{4} \times x = 7\dfrac{1}{2}\\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{8}{7} \times \dfrac{15}{4} \times x = \dfrac{15}{2}\\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{8 \times 15}{7 \times 4} \times x = \dfrac{15}{2}\\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{120}{28} \times x = \dfrac{15}{2}\\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{15 \times 28}{2 \times 120}\\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{420}{240}\\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{7}{4}\\[1em] \Rightarrow x = 1\dfrac{3}{4}.

Hence, the third number = 1341\dfrac{3}{4}.
