Answer:

w =
(3)/(2)

Explanation:

Given

(x)/(y) = 6 and x = 36 , then

(36)/(y) = 6 ( multiply both sides by y )

36 = 6y ( divide both sides by 6 (

6 = y

Then

(y)/(w) = 4 , that is

(6)/(w) = 4 ( multiply both sides by w )

6 = 4w ( divide both sides by 4 )

(6)/(4) = w , that is

w =
(3)/(2)
