I agree with the answer of 3/8w^3
It's because 3/2w^2/4w is the same as 3/2w^2 x 1/4w. If you are dividing a fraction by another number, invert and multiply. This is especially useful for dividing a fraction by another fraction.

(3/2w^2)/4w
law :: a/b = a*(1/b)
=(3/2w^2)*(1/4w)
law :: (a/b)*(c/d) =(a*c)/(b*d)
=(3*1)/(2w^2*4w)
=3/(8w^3)
=3/8w^3
