Answer to Problem 1IR

The increase in the number of registered nurses from 2010 to 2020 is approximately 700,000_.

Explanation of Solution

From the pictograph of ‘Jobs with Projected Highest Numerical Increase: 2010–2020’, it is observed that the number of symbols corresponding to registered nurses is 14 where each symbol represents 50,000 workers.

The increase in the number of registered nurses from 2010 to 2020 is 14×50,000 workers=700,000 workers. That is, 700,000 workers are registered nurses.

Thus, the increase in the number of registered nurses from 2010 to 2020 is approximately 700,000_.
