If a bill requires a majority vote of the 180 members of the House of Representatives to pass the chamber,
yes votes are required?

Answer 1

Answer: 91 "yes" votes

Step-by-step explanation:

TO answer such a question, you should use the formula:

= n/2 + 1

Where n is the number of members in the House of Representatives.

The logic is this; dividing the number by 2 will show you 50% of the vote. Adding 1 will then give you the minimum number of votes required to hold a majority because it would be just above 50%.

= 180/2 + 1

= 90 + 1

= 91 "yes" votes
