The Web file CHB contains an adjacency matrix with a one in the ith row and jth column indicating that the counties repsented by the ith row and the jth column share a border. A zero indicates that the two counties do not share a border. Solve a linear binary model that will tell CHB the minimum number of PPB's required and their location in order to allow CHB to put a branch in every county in Ohio
