You run a volunteer organization to help clean up local parks. You have 108 volunteers to assign to jobs in 6 different parks. The two medium-sized parks require half as many volunteers as the one largest park. The two small parks require half as many as the medium-sized parks. And one very small park requires only one-fifth the volunteers that the largest park requires. How many volunteers should be sent to each park?
