2) Actual distance between the two places: 3.6 divided by1/2000000 = 7200000 cm = 72 km, time: 72 divided by 30=2.4 hours,
2.4 hours =2 hours and 24 minutes, 8: 00 +2: 24 = 10: 24.
3) Using the knowledge of inverse proportion, the total workload remains unchanged, assuming that X people are added, (40+x) x (12-2) = 40x12, and the solution is x=8.
