Education The following table shows the enrollments for the four divisions of a college. There are 50 new overhead projectors that are to be apportioned among the divisions based on the enrollments.
a. Use the Hamilton method to determine the number of projectors to be apportioned to each division.
b. Use the Jefferson method to determine the number of projectors to be apportioned to each division.
c. Use the Webster method to determine the number of projectors to be apportioned to each division.
(a)
Use the Hamilton method to determine tile number of projectors to be apportioned to each division.
Answer to Problem 1RE
Hence, the projectors to be apportioned each division Health, Business, Engineering, and Science is
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
Number of overhead projectors
Concept used:
Calculation:
Since there is a total 50 new overhead projectors should be apportioned standard divisor is calculated by total number of enrollments divided by total number of new over head projectors that are to be apportioned, formula for standard divisor is,
Therefore,
Under the Hamilton plan, divide the enrollments of each division by the standard divisor and round the quotient down to a whole number
Divisions | Enrollments | Quotient | Standard Quota |
Health | | | |
Business | | | |
Engineering | | | |
Science | | | |
Total | |
When this happen the Hamilton plan calls for revisiting the calculation of the quotients and assigning an additional representative to the divisions with the largest decimal remaindeí process is continued until the number of representatives equals the number required by divisions. For divisions we have.
Divisions | Enrollments | Quotient | Standard Quota | Number of overhead projectors |
Health | | | | |
Business | | | | |
Engineering | | | | |
Science | | | | |
| |
Hence, the projectors to be apportioned each division Health, Business, Engineering, and Science is
Conclusion:
Hence, the projectors to be apportioned each division Health, Business, Engineering, and Science is
(b)
Use the Jefferson method to determine the number of projectors to be apportioned to each division.
Answer to Problem 1RE
The projectors to be apportioned each division Health, Business, Engineering, and Science is
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
Division | Enrollment |
Health | |
Business | |
Engineering | |
Science | |
Total | |
Concept used:
Calculation:
For Jefferson plan we consider modified standard divisor by trial and error is
Divisions | Enrollments | Quotient | Standard Quota |
Health | | | |
Business | | | |
Engineering | | | |
Science | | | |
Total | |
Hence, the projectors to be apportioned each division Health, Business, Engineering, and Science is
Conclusion:
The projectors to be apportioned each division Health, Business, Engineering, and Science is
(c)
Use the Webster method to determine the number of projectors to be apportioned to each division.
Answer to Problem 1RE
The projectors to be apportioned each division Health, Business, Engineering, and
Science is
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
Webster method
Concept used:
Webster method includes Enrollment, Quotient and number of overhead projects.
Calculation:
Now use Webster method to determine the number of projectors to be apportioned therefore,
Divisions | Enrollments | Quotient | Standard Quota | Number of overhead projectors |
Health | | | | |
Business | | | | |
Engineering | | | | |
Science | | | | |
Total | | |
Hence, the projectors to be apportioned each division Health, Business, Engineering, and
Science is
Conclusion:
The projectors to be apportioned each division Health, Business, Engineering, and
Science is

- A hospital has a nursing staff of 262 nurses working in four shifts. A (7:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M.), B (1:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M.), C (7:00 P.M. to 1:00 A.M.), and D (1:00 A.M. to 7:00 A.M.). The number of nurses apportioned to each shift is based on the average number of patients per shift, given in the following table. Shift A B C D Average Number of Patients 1042 1214 1204 732 Use Webster's method to apportion the 262 nurses among the shifts at the hospital.

- Engr. Janry Garcia and Engr. Caroline Moncada is working on a project for a newly constructed 4-story building. The project is regarding CCTV installation. As project engineers, they need to assess and make an inventory of the primary materials to be installed in the building. The following primary materials give the merchandise with its corresponding price list. C=CCTV Camera worth P5000 each; W=Cable wires P100 per meter; S=Splitters worth P50 each and B=Balun and Connectors for P150. Each of the materials should be distributed depending on the number of units per floor. For the 1st floor: twice the number of CCTV cameras is needed, three times the length of cable wire is required, four times the number of splitters and five times the number of baluns and connectors less is necessary, which gives an acceptable loss of -60dB. For the 2nd floor: 6 times the number of CCTV cameras are required, seven times the length of cable wire is needed, eight times the number of splitters less and…arrow_forwardA hospital has 195 nurses to be apportioned among four shifts: Shifts A, B, C, and D.
