    "Y is inversely proportional to the cube of x" translates to Y = kx ³ where k is unknown constant. We need to solve for k.

    So we have Y = 3 and x = 2. Plug in and we get 3 = k2³ = 8k

    So k = 3/8

    Now we can solve for Y when x = 3

    Y = (3/8) 3³ = (3/8) 27 = 81 / 8

    Final answer: 81 / 8
