$$\frac{200}{3}x=5$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{3}{200}, the reciprocal of \frac{200}{3}.

$$x=5\times \frac{3}{200}$$

Express 5\times \frac{3}{200} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{5\times 3}{200}$$

Multiply 5 and 3 to get 15.

$$x=\frac{15}{200}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{15}{200} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$x=\frac{3}{40}$$
