- Twenty sections of bilingual math courses, taught in both English and Spanish, are to be offered in introductory algebra, intermediate algebra, and liberal arts math. The preregistration figures for the number of students planning to enroll in these bilingual sections are given in the following table. Use Webster's method with d = 29.6 to determine how many bilingual sections of each course should be offered.

At that time Maine was still considered part of Massachusetts. If Maine had been a separate state, it would have shared in the distribution of the seats in the House. In the 1790 census, Maine's population was 96,643. Subtract this number from Massachusetts' population and then answer the question .State_______________ Population Connecticut_______ 237,655 Delaware______________59,096 Georgia_________________82,548 Kentucky_______________73,677 Maryland_______________319,728 Massachusetts___________475,199 New Hampshire___________141,899 New Jersey_________________184,139 New York__________________340,241 North Carolina______________395,005 Pennsylvania________________433,611 Rhode Island__________________69,112 South Carolina______________249,073 Vermont_____________________85,341 Virginia______________________747,550 TOTAL_______________________3,893,874 What are the standard quotas…arrow_forwardUse Thomas Jefferson's method to solve the following problem. Suppose a legislature in a state has five counties and a representative body with 56 seats. The population for each of the counties are shown below. How many seats should each county get? Use the Jefferson's Method of apportionment and Excel or Google Sheets. Fill in the information below.
