A. 2/50
B. 1/2
C. 1/25
D. 2/10
To find the fraction of the U.S. population with undiagnosed diabetes, we need to find the fraction of people with diabetes who have not been diagnosed.
The fraction of people with diabetes who have not been diagnosed is 25 out of 110, or 25/110.
To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 5.
25/110 simplifies to 5/22.
Therefore, the fraction of the U.S. population with undiagnosed diabetes is 5/22.
The correct answer is not listed, but the closest option is D. 2/10, which is equivalent to 1/5, and not 5/22.
