Suppose that the governors of three midwestern region states have agreed to form an interstate bureau to foster historical awareness, tourism, and commerce. The bureau will have ten seats, and the populations of the states are given in the figure shown below. Use Hamilton's Method to apportion the bureau seats.

A small country is made up of three separate islands: Eno, with a population of 100,300, Owt, with a population of 9,405, and Eerht with a population of 90,295. The country has a senate with 200 members whose seats are apportioned proportional to the population of each island. a. Use Hamilton's method to apportion the 200 seats. b. The senate decides to add another seat so that they have an odd number of senators. Use Hamilton's method to apportion the 201 seats. c. Compare your results from parts (a) and (b).
