Cоnsider а smаll tоwn with оnly three fаmilies, the Johnson family, the Marshall family, and the Walker family. The town does not currently have any streetlights so it is very dark at night. The three families are considering putting in streetlights on Main Street and are trying to determine how many lights to install.
