If it varies inversely, then their product is the same. So,
10*2 = y*8
20 = y*8
 /8      /8
5/2 = y
y = 2.5

\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{inverse proportional variation}\\\\
\textit{\underline{y} varies inversely with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad  y=\cfrac{k}{x}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
k=constant\ of\\
\qquad  variation
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{we also know that }
\begin{cases}
y=10\\
x=2
\end{cases}\implies 10=k2\implies \cfrac{10}{2}=k\implies 5=k
\\\\\\
therefore\qquad \boxed{y=\cfrac{5}{x}}
\\\\\\
\textit{when x = 8, what is \underline{y}?}\qquad y=\cfrac{5}{8}
