Question 1/10 of the current U.S. population has diabetes. 2/5 of the people with diabetes have not been diagnosed with the disease. What fraction of the U.S. population has undiagnosed diabetes? Write the answer in simplest form. answer me correctly
To find the fraction of the U.S. population with undiagnosed diabetes, we need to multiply the fractions representing the total population with diabetes and the fraction of people with undiagnosed diabetes.
The fraction representing the total population with diabetes is 1/10.
The fraction representing the people with undiagnosed diabetes is 2/5.
To find the fraction of the U.S. population with undiagnosed diabetes, we multiply: (1/10) * (2/5) = 2/50.
Therefore, the fraction of the U.S. population with undiagnosed diabetes is 2/50, which can be simplified further to 1/25.
