A stationary-container collection truck spends .1 h unloading each container, two containers per location, and .2 h travelling between locations. Maximum pickup time 2.4 h runs from arrival at the first location to emptying the last container. Find maximum locations per trip as an integer.
For n locations, container unloading takes .2n h and inter-location travel takes .2(n−1) h. Thus total=.4n−.2≤2.4,giving n≤6.5. The greatest integer is **6 locations**. There is no travel segment after the last location within the defined pickup time.
