Im pretty sure it is 12 because if the inverse of 24 is 8 ( 8 x 3 = 24 ) than 4 times 3 equals 12, if that kind of makes sense

okay so we start off with 24 = k divided by 8, you multiply both sided by 8 so 8 cancels out and 24 times 8 is 192 your equation is now y = 192 divided by 4 and the answer to that is y = 48
