Answer:

The values of Y are: 18, 9, 6, 3, 2, 1

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that X and Y are inversely related. This can be depicted mathematically as:

$X \alpha (1)/(Y)$

i.e. as X increases the value of Y is expected to decrease.

(or)
X =k* (1)/(Y)

where k = proportionality constant which is given as 18

In terms of Y, the above equation becomes:

Y =k* (1)/(X)

Based on the above equation the table can be filled as :

X Y K

1 18 18

2 9 18

3 6 18

6 3 18

9 2 18

18 1 18
