The correct answer is representation.
At the constitutional convention, big and small states fought constantly over representation in the legislative branch (also known as Congress). Having power in the legislative branch is important because this branch makes federal laws which all citizens are expected to follow.
Big states wanted representation in the legislative branch to be based on population. This would allow larger states, like Virginia, to have more power in terms of making laws. However, smaller states wanted equal representation in the legislative branch. That way each state had the same amount of power, regardless of size.
Ultimately, the two sides compromised with the House of Representatives being based on a states population and the Senate having two senators from each state, regardless of population.
To get that answer Maureen takes the whole 243 ounces and put the same amount of Trail Mix in each of the 15 bags. To calculate it Maureen divide 243 into 15 (243/15) that equals 16.2. The question does not say if it is allowed to put only a whole number of ounces of Trail Mix in each bag or it is allowed to put fractions of ounces in each bag.
<u>According to that reasoning, answer has two options:</u>
<u><em>1. If Maureen can put only a whole number of ounces in each bag, there will be 3 ounces of Trail Mix left and 16 ounces in each bag. </em></u>
<u><em>2. But if it is possible to put fractions, Maureen will put 16.2 ounces in each bag and no Trail Mix left at all.
