Solve for $w$. \[ \frac{9}{12}=\frac{w}{8} \] Simplify your answer as much as possible. \[ w= \]

Step 1 ：Solve for $w$ in the equation \(\frac{9}{12}=\frac{w}{8}\).

Step 2 ：Cross multiply to get $9*8 = 12*w$.

Step 3 ：Solve for $w$ by dividing both sides of the equation by 12.

Step 4 ：Performing the calculation gives $w = 6.0$.

Step 5 ：The final answer is \(\boxed{6}\).
