- Use Webster's method of apportionment to solve the following problem. 2. Suppose a nation has 5 states, with populations shown in the chart below. The representative body had 150 seats. Find: the standard divisor, • the modified divisor, and the distribution of representatives to each state. Then complete the table. Round all standard and modified quotas to 7 decimal places if needed. You can use a spreadsheet to help you figure out an answer or calculate using a calculator.
