Answer 1

Let's solve each of the equations step by step.

1. **For the equation \( \frac{5}{3} x = 25 \)**:
To solve for \( x \), we can multiply both sides by the reciprocal of \( \frac{5}{3} \), which is \( \frac{3}{5} \):
\[
x = 25 \times \frac{3}{5} = 25 \times 0.6 = 15
\]
So, the answer is **15**.

2. **For the equation \( \frac{4x}{9} = 18 \)**:
To solve for \( x \), we multiply both sides by \( 9 \) to isolate \( 4x \):
\[
4x = 18 \times 9 = 162
\]
Now, divide both sides by \( 4 \):
\[
x = \frac{162}{4} = 40.5
\]
So, the answer is **40.5**.

3. **For the total amount of money paid by 50 people at $5.00 each**:
Multiply the number of people by the amount each person pays:
\[
\text{Total amount} = 50 \times 5 = 250
\]
So, the total amount is **250**.

4. **For the total number of books collected by 4 people, if each of 4 shelters received 18 books**:
Calculate the total number of books collected:
\[
\text{Total books} = 4 \times 18 = 72
\]
So, the total number of books collected is **72**.

To summarize the answers:
1. 15
2. 40.5
3. 250
4. 72
