Intrastate shipment distances are 300 miles and interstate distances are 500 miles (between States 1 and 2), 1,000 miles (between States 1 and 3), and 400 miles (between States 2 and 3). Assuming an impedance function of the form 1/d, estimate the tonnage of lumber that will travel
between the three states. (Compute enough iterations that the total computed consumption for each state, rounded to the nearest integer, matches the given consumption.)
