Sagot :

Answer:

k = 192

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

y varies inversely with x. It can be written as :

[tex]y=\dfrac{k}{x}[/tex]

Where

k is the constant of variation

Put x = 16 and y = 12 in the above formula.

[tex]k=yx\\\\k=16\times 12\\\\k=192[/tex]

So, the value of the constant of variation is equal to 192.
