Explanation is given below.

The inverse variance equation is of the form.

#y=k/x#

Where #k# is the constant of variation.

We can find #k# by substituting the values of #x# and #y# in

#k=xy#

Our question gives the values as #x=12# and #y=3#.

#k=(12)(3)#

#k=36#

The inverse equation is #y=36/x#
