The correct answer is
$\frac{5}{64}$

Expression Simplification

To simplify the expression $5\frac{1}{6} \div 6.2 \times 0.75 \div \left(\frac{1}{5} \times 40\right)$, we follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).

Convert Numbers to Fractions

  • Mixed number: $5\frac{1}{6} = \frac{(5 \times 6) + 1}{6} = \frac{31}{6}$
  • Decimal: $6.2 = \frac{62}{10} = \frac{31}{5}$
  • Decimal: $0.75 = \frac{75}{100} = \frac{3}{4}$

Simplify Parenthetical Term

  • The term inside the parentheses is: $\left(\frac{1}{5} \times 40\right) = \frac{40}{5} = 8$

Rewrite Expression

Substitute the fractional values back into the original expression:

$ \frac{31}{6} \div \frac{31}{5} \times \frac{3}{4} \div 8 $

Calculate Step-by-Step

Perform division and multiplication operations from left to right:

  • First division: $\frac{31}{6} \div \frac{31}{5} = \frac{31}{6} \times \frac{5}{31} = \frac{5}{6}$
  • The expression is now: $\frac{5}{6} \times \frac{3}{4} \div 8$
  • Next, multiplication: $\frac{5}{6} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{15}{24} = \frac{5}{8}$
  • The expression is now: $\frac{5}{8} \div 8$
  • Final division: $\frac{5}{8} \div 8 = \frac{5}{8} \times \frac{1}{8} = \frac{5}{64}$

Final Simplified Value

The simplified value of the expression is $\frac{5}{64}$.
