To determine which wave has a faster speed, we can use the formula for wave speed:

\[
\text{Speed} = \text{Wavelength} \times \text{Frequency}
\]

Let's calculate the speed for both waves:

1. **Wave W**:
- Wavelength = 5 meters
- Frequency = 200 hertz

\[
\text{Speed of Wave W} = 5 \, \text{m} \times 200 \, \text{Hz} = 1000 \, \text{m/s}
\]

2. **Wave X**:
- Wavelength = 3 meters
- Frequency = 300 hertz

\[
\text{Speed of Wave X} = 3 \, \text{m} \times 300 \, \text{Hz} = 900 \, \text{m/s}
\]

Now that we have the speeds:

- Wave W has a speed of 1000 m/s.
- Wave X has a speed of 900 m/s.

Based on this calculation, we can conclude that **Wave W has a faster speed**.

Therefore, the correct response is: **Wave W has a faster speed.**
