Apologies for the mistake in my previous response.

To solve for k in the proportion $\frac{15}{18}=\frac{k}{6}$, we can cross-multiply:

$15 \cdot 6 = 18 \cdot k$

$90 = 18k$

Now, divide both sides of the equation by 18 to isolate k:

$\frac{90}{18} = \frac{18k}{18}$

$5 = k$

Therefore, the value of k is 5.

To solve for w in the proportion $\frac{w}{16}=\frac{15}{12}$, we can cross-multiply:

$w \cdot 12 = 15 \cdot 16$

$12w = 240$

Now, divide both sides of the equation by 12 to isolate w:

$\frac{12w}{12} = \frac{240}{12}$

$w = 20$

Therefore, the value of w is 20.
