V. Baseball umpiring crews are currently in four

V. Baseball umpiring crews are currently in four cities where three-game series are beginning. When these are finished, the crews are needed to work games in four different cities. The distances (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 tables: FROM / TO Seattle Arlington Oakland Baltimore Kansas City 1500 460 1500 960 Chicago 1730 810 1850 610 Detroit 1940 1020 2080 400 Toronto 2070 1270 X 330 The X indicates that the crew in Oakland cannot be sent to Toronto. Formulate this problem as a linear programming model to determine which crew should be sent to each city to minimize the total distance traveled. Please show your definition of decision variables needed clearly for this formulation. Do not ever try to solve this formulation. (15 points)
