To solve the equation \( \frac{5}{3}x = 25 \), we can isolate \( x \) by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of \( \frac{5}{3} \), which is \( \frac{3}{5} \).

Here are the steps:

  1. Multiply both sides by \( \frac{3}{5} \):

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

  1. Calculate \( 25 \times \frac{3}{5} \):

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

Thus, the solution is:

\[ x = 15 \]

The correct response is 15.
