Answer

$C=4$

Work Step by Step

The variation model described by the problem is $ C=\dfrac{k}{D} .$ Substituting the known values in the variation model above results to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} 12=\dfrac{k}{8} \\ 12(8)=k \\ k=96 .\end{array} Therefore, the variation equation is \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} C=\dfrac{96}{D} .\end{array} Using the variation equation above, then \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} C=\dfrac{96}{24} \\ C=4 .\end{array}
