Answer

$y=\displaystyle \frac{3}{4x}$

Work Step by Step

If y varies inversely with x, then $y=\displaystyle \frac{k}{x}$, for some constant k. Given x=$\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}$, y=$3$, we find k $3=\displaystyle \frac{k}{\frac{1}{4}}$ $ 3=4k\qquad$ ... divide with 4 $\displaystyle \frac{3}{4}=k$ So, $y=\displaystyle \frac{3}{4x}$
