1. Substitute $$ m=0.4 $$ into the expression:
   $$
   9.8 \div m = 9.8 \div 0.4
   $$

2. Express the division as a fraction:
   $$
   9.8 \div 0.4 = \frac{9.8}{0.4}
   $$

3. Multiply the numerator and the denominator by 10 to eliminate the decimals:
   $$
   \frac{9.8 \times 10}{0.4 \times 10} = \frac{98}{4}
   $$

4. Simplify the fraction by dividing 98 by 4:
   $$
   \frac{98}{4} = 24.5
   $$

Thus, the result is $$ 24.5 $$.
The result is 24.5.
