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.(1 point)
Responses
To find the fraction of the U.S. population with undiagnosed diabetes, we need to multiply the fraction of the U.S. population with diabetes by the fraction of people with diabetes who have not been diagnosed.
Fraction of U.S. population with diabetes: 1/10
Fraction of people with diabetes who have not been diagnosed: 2/5
Multiplying these fractions, we get:
(1/10) * (2/5) = 2/50
So, the fraction of the U.S. population with undiagnosed diabetes is 2/50.
