What is the lowest number of cables required to connect 8 computers to 4 printers to guarantee that 4 computers can directly access 4 different printers?



I'm thinking 20. I got this by multiplying 4 x 4 , then adding 4. Am I way off?

You need four printers to each have 4 cables (1 to each printer). That means 4*4 = 16 cables.



Then for the remaining 4 printers, you need at least one cable for each. That means a total of 16 + 4 or 20 cables at the least. Report It
