10. A city collects solid waste from 640 commercial dumpsters. The dumpsters have an un- compacted capacity of 2.5 m³ with a compaction density is 200 kg/m3 with mixed waste. The trucks that collect from the dumpsters have a capacity of 6 m3 of waste compacted to 720 kg/m³. Collection occurs once weekly. It requires 2 min to empty each dumpster, and travel time between dumpsters requires an average of 8 min. Filled trucks dump at a centrally located transfer station, requiring a round trip including dumping time of 52 min from the end of one route to the beginning of the next. The trucks are parked at the transfer station at the end of each 8 hr work day and 6 days a week. How many dumpsters can one truck empty in a single day? How many trucks does the city need to manage this operation
