which one is right?
The correct answer is 50 senators.
To determine the number of senators that would constitute a majority, we divide the total number of senators (100) by 2, since a majority is more than half.
100 ÷ 2 = 50
Therefore, 50 senators would constitute a majority in the United States Senate.
To determine how many senators would constitute a majority, we need to understand how many total senators are there in the United States. There are 100 U.S. senators in total.
To find out the number that constitutes a majority, we divide the total number of senators by 2 and then add 1. So, the calculation is:
100 / 2 + 1 = 51
Therefore, the correct answer is 51 senators, which is not listed among the provided options.
