Answer:

Number of books= 2 books

Explanation:

number of books Jason reads each week is inversely proportional to the number of hours

Let books be x

Let hours be y

X= k/y

Where k is constant of proportionality

Jason read three books and spent four hours

3= k/4

3*4= k

12= k

So

X= 12/y

If he spent six hours

Number of books x

X= 12/6

X= 2 books
