y varies inversely with x.
Example:
If we multiply x by 2 we need to divide y by 2 too.
So,
If y = 16 and x = 1/2, find y when x = 32
Lets see, from 1/2 to 32 e need to multiply 1/2 by 64, right? So let's divide 16 by 64.
16/64 = 8/32 = 4/16 = 2/8 = 1/4
So we can say that:
If y = 16 when x = 1/2, y = 1/4 when x = 32.

Answer:
a = 24*1/3
a =8   
Step-by-step explanation:
We are using proportions to solve this problem by putting students over adults
students         3                   24
--------------- = ---------------  = -------------
adults                 1                   a
where a is the unknown number of adults
Using cross products
3a=24*1
Divide by 3
a = 24*1/3
a = 24/3
a = 8
