    The width is 8 units

    Step-by-step explanation:

    This is a variation problem we are to work with.

    Length is inversely proportional to width, let length be l and width be w

    modeling the statement mathematically, we have lw = k where k is the proportionality constant

    Now let's get k from l = 12 and w = 6

    k = 12 * 6 = 72

    Now for the second rectangle also;

    lw = k given l = 9

    9w = 72

    w = 72/9

    w = 8
