A teacher shares sweets among 8 students so they get 6 each. How many sweets would they each have got if there had been 12 students?

4 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that there is a total of 48 sweets being handed out, and we can tell that this is an example of inverse proportion:

when one increases the other decreases

So, we multiply 8 * 6 to get 48, and then divide that by 12 to get 4 which is how many each student gets

for some constant k -> xy/z=k
