We can expand this expression by using the distributive property:

1/3(2/5) + (1/3)(-2/3w)

Remember that to multiplying fractions, multiply acroos the top and across the bottom:

2/15 - 2/9w is the answer

We expand by multiplying 1/3 to both terms. We multiply the numerators and denominators together to get:
2/15 - 2/9 w
