Answer

quorum in Congress typically requires a simple majority of members to be present. So, to "constitute a quorum to do business," the minimum number of members required is half plus one of the total members of that particular house of Congress. Let \( M \) represent the total number of members in that house of Congress. Therefore, the minimum number of members required to constitute a quorum is \( \frac{M}{2} + 1 \).
