Question 974923
Inverse variations are of the form x*y = k where k is some fixed number


x*y = k


16*6 = k ... plug in (x,y) = (16,6)


96 = k


k = 96


-------------------------------------------------------



x*y = k


x*y = 96


8*y = 96 ... Plug in x = 8 and solve for y


y = 96/8


y = 12


So the missing value is y = 12
