To find the fraction of the population that are children, we need to express the given percentage as a fraction. The given percentage is 22%.
To convert a percentage into a fraction, divide the percentage by 100. So, 22/100 = 11/50.
Therefore, the fraction of the population that are children is Start Fraction 11 over 50 End Fraction.
The correct fraction that represents the proportion of children in the U.S. population is Start Fraction 22 over 100 End Fraction.
To find this fraction, you need to understand that the fraction represents a part of a whole. In this case, the "part" is the number of children, and the "whole" is the total population of the U.S.
To calculate the fraction, divide the number of children by the total population, and simplify if possible. In this case, you would divide 22 (the number of children) by 100 (the total population). Simplifying this fraction gives you Start Fraction 11 over 50 End Fraction.
Therefore, the fraction that represents the proportion of children in the U.S. population is Start Fraction 11 over 50 End Fraction.
