    Let the multiplied number be x.

    [tex]5 \times \frac{5}{8} \times x = 37 \times \frac{1}{2} \\ \\ \frac{45}{8} \times x = \frac{75}{2} \\ \\ x = \frac{75}{2} \div \frac{45}{8} \\ \\ x = \frac{75}{2} \times \frac{8}{45} \\ \\ x = \frac{15}{1} \times \frac{4}{9} \\ \\ x = \frac{5}{1} \times \frac{4}{3} \\ \\ x = \frac{20}{3} \\ \\ x = 6 \times \frac{2}{3} [/tex]

    [tex] \: \: [/tex]

    Therefore, the value of x is [tex]6 \times \frac{2}{3} \\ [/tex]
