Answer:
$(5)/(9)\ m$

Explanation:

Given

Area of the rectangular piece of paper is
$A=(1)/(3)\ m^2$

Length of the paper is
$l=(3)/(5)\ m$

Suppose width of the paper is

Area is the multiplication of length and width

$\therefore A=lw\\\\\Rightarrow (1)/(3)=(3)/(5)* w\\\\\Rightarrow w=(5)/(9)\ m$

Thus, the width of the paper is
$(5)/(9)\ m$
