Question:
Based on Riccio et al. (1986). The borough of Staten Island has two sanitation districts. In district 1, street litter piles up at an average rate of 2000 tons per week, and in district 2, it piles up at an average rate of 1000 tons per week. Each district has 500 miles of streets. Staten Island has 10 sanitation crews and each crew can clean 50 miles per week of streets. To minimize the average level of the total amount of street litter in the two districts, how often should each district be cleaned? Assume that litter in a district grows at a constant rate until it is picked up, and assume that pickup is instantaneous. (Let pi equal the average number of times that district i is cleaned per week. Then p1 + p2 = 1.)
