This is just an exercise in flexing the limits of what you have and calculating various types of concentrations.
The solution is aqueous, so the solvent is water, which is why the density is close to #"1 g/mL"#. Knowing the percent by mass, which is:
#"% w/w" = "mass solute"/"mass solution"xx100%#
we can assume #"1000 g"# solvent for convenience (given that the molality is per #"kg"# of solvent) to get:
#"40% w/w" => 0.40 = "x g solute"/"(1000 + x) g solution"#
Solving for #x#, we can get the mass of the solute:
#0.40(1000 + x) = x#
#=> 400 + 0.40x = x#
#=> 400 = (1 - 0.40)x#
#=> x = 400/(1 - 0.40) = 666.bar(66)# #"g solute"#
Therefore, we can get the mols of solute and mols of solvent:
#color(green)(n_"solute") = (666.bar(66) "g solute")/(2xx12.011 + 6xx1.0079 + 2xx15.99"9 g/mol") = color(green)("10.741 mols ethylene glycol")#
#color(green)(n_"solvent") = ("1000 g solvent")/("18.015 g/mol") = color(green)("55.509 mols water")#
From there, we have all the info we need to calculate the concentrations.
MOLARITY
For the molarity:
#color(blue)(["C"_2"H"_6"O"_2]) = "mols solute"/"L solution"#
#= "10.741 mols solute"/((1000 + 666.bar(66)) cancel"g solution" xx cancel"mL"/(1.06 cancel"g") xx "L"/(1000 cancel"mL"))#
#=# #color(blue)("6.83 M")#
MOLALITY
The molality was made simple because we chose the mass of the solvent to be #"1000 g"#, i.e. #"1 kg"#:
#color(blue)(m_("C"_2"H"_6"O"_2)) = "mols solute"/"kg solvent"#
#= "10.741 mols solute"/"1 kg water"#
#=# #color(blue)("10.741 mol/kg")#
Naturally, we chose #"1000 g"# of water so that we couldn't mess up this calculation as long as we got the mols right (dividing by 1 is easy to get right).
MOLE FRACTION
The mol fraction is:
#color(blue)(chi_("C"_2"H"_6"O"_2)) = n_"solute"/(n_"solute" + n_"solvent")#
#= "10.741 mols solute"/("10.741 mols solute" + "55.509 mols water")#
#=# #color(blue)(0.1621)#
