Question 106481: A bill is sent to the President of the United States when it has passed both houses of Congress. A majority vote in both the House of Representatives (435 members) and the Senate (100 members) is needed for the bill to be passed on to the President. The majority vote is a majority of the members present, as long as more than one-half of all the members
are present. More than one-half of the members makes up what is called a quorum.
Once the bill comes to him, the President may either sign the bill, making it a law, or he can veto the bill. His veto sends the bill back to Congress.
Congress can still make the bill a law by overriding the Presidential veto. To over ride the veto, 2/3 of the members of each legislative body must vote to override it. Again, this is 2/3 of a quorum of members.

Assume that 420 members of the House are available to vote. How many votes are
necessary to make up a majority, which is anything over 1/2?
help please

Question 107325: I need some help figuring out how to do this. Do I make the measurement with a ruler? Directions: Using figure 7.1, measure the distance from the loading well to each band on your gel and set up a table with your results on the worksheet titled Assignment 7.3. Next, use algebra to determine the log of unknown fragments in proportion to a logarithmic scale. Then, using the graph on the worksheet titled Assignment 7.3, plot the points for each of the standards and draw a straight line that connects as many of these as possible. Use the X-axis to plot migration distance and the Y-axis to plot the log of the size or molecular weight. Now you can take the distance of migration for any unknown sample and find that point on the X-axis; then go across to the regression line; and from that point, go down to the Y-axis. This point will represent the log of the size of your unknown band.
