-------------------------------
Form: V = kp
-------------
Find "k" for this situation:
6 = k8
k = 3/4
---------
Situation Equation: V = (3/4)p
So, if the pressure is 12 you can solve for V:
V = (3/4)12
V = 9 cubic cm

inverse proportions take on the form ab=k.......so we have v/p=k....
:
remember when variables are inversely related if one increases the other decreases .that is one way of checking to see if your answer is reasonable.
In our case the pressure is increase therefore the volume must decrease.
:
6(8)=48........so then v(12)=48
:
