[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To find the fraction of the total population in the US born with blond or red hair, we need to add together the fractions of people with blond hair and red hair.

Given that about 3/20 of the population is born with blond hair and 1/20 of the population is born with red hair, we can add these fractions to find the combined fraction.

3/20 + 1/20 = (3 + 1) / 20 = 4/20

However, we can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which in this case is 4. Simplifying gives us:

4/20 = 1/5

Therefore, approximately 1/5 of the total population in the US is born with either blond or red hair.
