Let's go through the simplification step-by-step for each part of the problem shown in the image. Here's the breakdown:

### a) \(\frac{6tw}{2t^{-3}w}\)

- Cancel \(w\) from the numerator and denominator:
  \[
  \frac{6tw}{2t^{-3}w} = \frac{6t}{2t^{-3}}
  \]
- Simplify the constants:
  \[
  \frac{6}{2} = 3
  \]
- Use the laws of exponents: \(t^1 \div t^{-3} = t^{1 - (-3)} = t^4\):
  \[
  3t^4
  \]
Thus, the simplified expression is:
\[
3t^4
\]

### b) \(\frac{4m \times \frac{1}{2} \times 3m^0}{6m \times \frac{1}{2}}\)

- Remember that \(m^0 = 1\), so the numerator simplifies to:
  \[
  4m \times \frac{1}{2} \times 3 = 6m
  \]
- Simplify the denominator:
  \[
  6m \times \frac{1}{2} = 3m
  \]
- Now, simplify the expression:
  \[
  \frac{6m}{3m} = 2
  \]
Thus, the simplified expression is:
\[
2
\]

### c) \(\frac{8a \times \frac{1}{2}}{2a \times \frac{2}{3}}\)

- Simplify the numerator:
  \[
  8a \times \frac{1}{2} = 4a
  \]
- Simplify the denominator:
  \[
  2a \times \frac{2}{3} = \frac{4a}{3}
  \]
- Now, divide:
  \[
  \frac{4a}{\frac{4a}{3}} = 3
  \]
Thus, the simplified expression is:
\[
3
\]

### d) \(\frac{3k^2 \times 2k^{-5}}{6k^{-4}}\)

- Multiply the terms in the numerator:
  \[
  3k^2 \times 2k^{-5} = 6k^{-3}
  \]
- Now simplify the fraction:
  \[
  \frac{6k^{-3}}{6k^{-4}} = k^{-3 - (-4)} = k^1 = k
  \]
Thus, the simplified expression is:
\[
k
\]

### e) \(\frac{6t^{-2} + 8t}{2t^{-3}}\)

- Factor the numerator:
  \[
  \frac{6t^{-2} + 8t}{2t^{-3}} = \frac{2(3t^{-2} + 4t)}{2t^{-3}}
  \]
  Cancel out the 2:
  \[
  \frac{3t^{-2} + 4t}{t^{-3}}
  \]
- Now apply the exponent rule for division to each term:
  \[
  \frac{3t^{-2}}{t^{-3}} = 3t^{1}, \quad \frac{4t}{t^{-3}} = 4t^4
  \]
- Combine the terms:
  \[
  3t + 4t^4
  \]
Thus, the simplified expression is:
\[
4t^4 + 3t
\]
