Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

given f(x) varies inversely with x then the equation connecting them is

f(x) = [tex]\frac{k}{x}[/tex] ← k is the constant of variation

to find k use the given condition f(x) = 6 when x = 4, then

k = xf(x) = 4 × 6 = 24, hence

f(x) = [tex]\frac{24}{x}[/tex] ← variation equation

when x = 8, then

f(x) = [tex]\frac{24}{8}[/tex] = 3

The answer would be 12 because when we do 6/4=1.5
So then to get f(x)
We have to take 8•1.5=12
