y varies inversely with x.

Example:

If we multiply x by 2 we need to divide y by 2 too.

So,

If y = 16 and x = 1/2, find y when x = 32

Lets see, from 1/2 to 32 e need to multiply 1/2 by 64, right? So let's divide 16 by 64.

16/64 = 8/32 = 4/16 = 2/8 = 1/4

So we can say that:

If y = 16 when x = 1/2, y = 1/4 when x = 32.
