State A and state B are each candidates for an extra congressional representative. The relative unfairness of apportionment for state A is approximately 0.35, whereas for state B it is about 0.348. According to the apportionment principle, which of the two states should receive a new representative? Explain why. State A, because it has the larger relative unfairness. State A, because it has the smaller relative unfairness. State B, because it has the larger relative unfairness. State B, because it has the smaller relative unfairness
