1. Stating the problem: Simplify the expression $$\frac{1}{6} \times \left(\frac{4}{5} - \frac{1}{3}\right) \div \frac{1}{5}$$.
2. Calculate the subtraction inside the parentheses:
$$\frac{4}{5} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{4 \times 3}{5 \times 3} - \frac{1 \times 5}{3 \times 5} = \frac{12}{15} - \frac{5}{15} = \frac{7}{15}$$
3. Substitute back into the expression:
$$\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{7}{15} \div \frac{1}{5}$$
4. Multiply the fractions:
$$\frac{1}{6} \times \frac{7}{15} = \frac{7}{90}$$
5. Divide by $$\frac{1}{5}$$ is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal:
$$\frac{7}{90} \div \frac{1}{5} = \frac{7}{90} \times \frac{5}{1}$$
6. Multiply:
$$\frac{7}{90} \times \frac{5}{1} = \frac{7 \times 5}{90 \times 1} = \frac{35}{90}$$
7. Simplify the fraction by dividing numerator and denominator by 5:
$$\frac{\cancel{35}^{7}}{\cancel{90}^{18}} = \frac{7}{18}$$
Final answer: $$\frac{7}{18}$$
