The first step for solving this problem is to determine the defined range. This means that you need to find all values of w that would make the denominator equal to 0.
w = 0
To find the defined range,, exclude the restricted values.

(4)/(w) = (3)/(6), w ≠ 0
Reduce the second fraction with 3.

(4)/(w) =
(1)/(2)
Use cross multiplication to simplify the equation.
8 = w
Switch the sides of the equation.
w = 8, w ≠ 0
Check to see if the solution is in the defined range.
w = 8
This means that the correct answer to your question is w = 8.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

Cross multiply the fractions to get the following equation:

3w = 4*6

3w = 24

Divide both sides by 3 to get w by itself.

w = 8

The answer is w = 8.
