To solve the proportion
\[
\frac{6}{w} = \frac{42}{21}
\]
First, simplify the fraction on the right side:
\[
\frac{42}{21} = 2
\]
Now the equation becomes:
\[
\frac{6}{w} = 2
\]
Next, we can cross-multiply:
\[
6 = 2w
\]
Now, divide both sides by 2 to solve for \( w \):
\[
w = \frac{6}{2} = 3
\]
So, the solution is:
\[
w = 3
\]
\[
\frac{6}{w} = \frac{42}{21}
