First, you need to isolate w. So you get w = 2/3 divided by 4.
I made the 2/3 a decimal, as it is easier to work with: 0.6666 divided by 4 is 0.167.
0.167 is 1/6.
w = 1/6, or 0.167.

4w =2/3

Divide both side by 4 so that (w) is by itself.

w=2/3 ÷ 4

w = 2/3 × 1/4

Simplify.

w = 2/12

Simplify.

w = 1/6

~Hope I helped!~
