There are 1.63 million engineers in the United States. Is this a relatively small or large number?
What will be an ideal response?
Mathematics can help us answer this question. For example, in 2006, the U.S. population was 300 million. If 1.63 million people were engineers, then we can find that engineers made up 0.5 percent of the U.S. population: 1.63/300 • 100 = 0.54%.
