QUESTION 2. APPORTIONMENT. To help hikers who may become injured, lost or dehydrated along the trails of Algebra State Park, the Parks Department has rangers assigned to walk along the trails all day, giving aid when needed. There are 18 miles of trails in the north region of the park, 25 miles of trials in the east region of the park, 30 miles of trails in the west region of the park, and 40 miles of trails in the south region. Today there are 17 rangers available to patrol the park. Each ranger will be assigned to one of the 4 regions. If the number of rangers assigned to a region is based on the Alexander Hamilton method for apportionment, how many rangers will be patrolling each region?
