Answer:
(1)/(15)Explanations:

The given expression is:

w ÷ 6

If w = 2/5, substitute the value of w into the expression


(2)/(5)/6

This can be simplified further by changing the division sign (÷) to a multiplication sign (x), and then change 6 to 1/6

The expression then becomes:


\begin{gathered} (2)/(5)*(1)/(6) \\ (2)/(30) \\ \text{Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2} \\ (2/2)/(30/2) \\ (1)/(15) \end{gathered}
