In the Senate, each state is represented by two members, in accordance with the Connecticut Compromise reached at the Philadelphia Convention of 1787. The Senate's membership is therefore based on the equal representation of each state, regardless of population.

The actual answer would be 1.9803921568627......
Peurto Rico does not get Senators and Washington D.C. gets 1 nonvoting so you would divide 101 by 51 I know that D.C. is not considered a State but to my knowledge P.R. is technically considered a State.
