Suppose that x = 6 and y = 8. If y is inversely related to x, what is y when x = 3?

OpenStudy (cgreenwade2000):

Inversely means as one goes up the other goes down. In this case x decreases by 1/2 (6 to 3) so it dividing by 2. To find the new y, we have to do the opposite operation, but still using 2.
