Answer 1

To solve the equation \( \frac{5}{3}x = 25 \), follow these steps:

1. Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of \( \frac{5}{3} \), which is \( \frac{3}{5} \):

\[ x = 25 \times \frac{3}{5} \]

2. Simplify the right side:

\[ x = 25 \times 0.6 = 15 \]

So, the solution is:

\[ x = 15 \]

Among your options, the correct answer is 15.
