The correct fraction of the population that are children is: 1/5 or Start Fraction 1 over 5 End Fraction.
To find the fraction of the U.S. population that are children, we need to convert the percentage to a fraction.
The given percentage is 22%, which can be written as 22/100.
Simplifying this fraction gives us 11/50.
Therefore, the fraction of the U.S. population that are children is 11/50.
To find the fraction of the U.S. population that represents children, we need to express the percentage as a fraction. The given percentage is 22%.
To convert a percentage to a fraction, divide the percentage by 100. In this case, we divide 22 by 100, which gives us 0.22.
To express 0.22 as a fraction, we write it as a fraction with a denominator of 1. So, the fraction representing 22% is 0.22/1.
However, we generally want to express fractions in simplest form. To simplify the fraction, we divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). In this case, both the numerator and denominator do not have any common factors other than 1. Therefore, the simplest form of the fraction is just 0.22/1.
So, the fraction representing 22% of the U.S. population as children is 0.22/1.
