Inverse variation equations take the following form:

y = a/x, where a is some constant

We know x=3, y=16 and x=6, y=8 satisfy the equation.

Let's find the value of a.

16=a/3

Multiply both sides by 3

16*3 = a

48 = a

Thus, the equation is:

y = 48/x

You can use the other values of x and y to test, but I'm sure this is the correct equation. :)
