Scheduling Six different groups of children would like to visit the zoo and feed different animals. (Assume each group will visit the zoo on only one day.) Group I would like to feed the bears, dolphins, and gorillas. Group 2 would like to feed the bears, elephants, and hippos. Group 3 would like to feed the dolphins and elephants. Group 4 would like to feed the dolphins, zebras, and hippos. Group 5 would like to feed the bears and hippos. Group 6 would like to feed the gorillas, hippos, and zebras. Use graph coloring to find the minimum number of days that are required so that all groups can feed the animals they would like to feed but no animals will be fed twice on the same day. Design a schedule to accomplish this goal.

Scheduling Six different groups of children would like to visit the zoo and feed different animals. (Assume each group will visit the zoo on only one day.)
Group I would like to feed the bears, dolphins, and gorillas.
Group 2 would like to feed the bears, elephants, and hippos.
Group 3 would like to feed the dolphins and elephants.
Group 4 would like to feed the dolphins, zebras, and hippos.
Group 5 would like to feed the bears and hippos.
Group 6 would like to feed the gorillas, hippos, and zebras.
Use graph coloring to find the minimum number of days that are required so that all groups can feed the animals they would like to feed but no animals will be fed twice on the same day. Design a schedule to accomplish this goal.
To determine
The minimum number of days that all groups require to feed the animals.
