1 yard = 3 feet
48/3= 16 yards
To do this without a calculator, the best method would be chunking.
Minus 36 from 936 in groups of ten until a smaller number is reached; record the number in each group.
936 - (10 x 36)
936 - 360 = 576
576 - (10 x 36)
576 - 360 = 216
216 - (5 x 36)
216 - 180 = 36
36 - (1 x 36)
36 - 36 = 0
Add up all the bold numbers
10 + 10 + 5 + 1 = 26

Loosely, "varies inversely" means that as one quantity increases, the other decreases. Specifically, if x and y vary inversely, then y = k/x where k is some constant (a particular number).
Another way to write that relationship is xy = k. To find the value of k for this problem, you need a numbers for x and y that go together.
Suppose x = number of children and y = number of candies (it doesn't matter what order these go in as long as you keep track!).
"When 12 children are present, 140 pieces of candy are consumed." So when x = 12, the value of y = 140.
xy = k
(12)(140) = k
1680 = k
Now, when x = 8 children,
8y = 1680
y = 210
