Step-by-step explanation:
Soldiers. Days
400. 20
x. 32
It will be inversely proportional as more soldiers will results the food to last few days and less soldiers will result the food to last more days, so therefore inversely proportional as one side increases and the other side decreases and vice versa.
x = 400 X 20/32 = 8000/32 = 250 soldiers.
So, 400 - 250 = 150 soldiers escaped
I hope it helps.
