Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given m varies inversely as n then the equation relating them is

m = [tex]\frac{k}{n}[/tex] ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition m = 3 when n = 2

3 = [tex]\frac{k}{2}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

6 = k

m = [tex]\frac{6}{n}[/tex] ← equation of variation

when n = 12 , then

m = [tex]\frac{6}{12}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] → B
