Answer:  24

Step-by-step explanation:

Variation: y  ∞  x

y  =  kx , where k is the constant of proportionality

now to find k, we substitute for y and x in the equation above

16 = 8k

therefore,

k = ¹⁶/₈

  = 2.

Now, to find y , we move back to the equation above and substitute for x and k to get y

y =   12(2)

  =  24
