Question
9-39 Baseball umpiring crews are currently in four cities where three-games series are beginning. When these are finished, the crews are needed to work games in four different cities. The distance (miles) from each of the cities where the crews are currently working to the cities where the new games will begin are shown in the following table
to
from Kansas Chicago Detroit Toronto
Seattle 1,500, 1,730, 1,940, 2,070
Arlinton 460, 810, 1,020, 1,270
Oakland 1,500, 1,850, 2,080, X
Baltimore 960, 610, 400 330
The X indicates that the crew cannot be sent to Toronto. Determine which crew should be sent to each city to minimize the total distance traveled. How many miles will be traveled if these assignments take place?
Please provide detail solution on how you got the answer
Explanation / Answer
From Baltimore to Kansas , Chicago , Detroit , Toronto ........ the distance is minimum
because distance between Baltimore and Kansas = 960......which is minimum
distance between Baltimore and Chicago = 610......which is minimum
distance between Baltimore and Detroit = 400......which is minimum
distance between Baltimore and Toronto = 330......which is minimum
Hence,
From Baltimore to Kansas , Chicago , Detroit , Toronto ........ the distance is minimum.........Answer
total distance traveled = sum of these distances
=960+610+400+330=2300 miles..........Answer
