Decision variable x Number of students living in sector i traveling to school located in sectori The number of decision variables for the model Enter your answer in the answer box and then click Check Answer parts remaining m The Hills County, "" DoHomework-Ka-
Explanation / Answer
i = no of sectors where students live = (A,B,C,D,E) = 5
j= No of sectors where school is present = (B,C,E) = 3
