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 the simplest form.
1/2
or
2/10
or
1/25
or
2/50
If 1/10 of the current U.S. population has diabetes, and 2/5 of the people with diabetes have not been diagnosed, then the fraction of the U.S. population with undiagnosed diabetes would be (1/10) * (2/5).
Multiplying the fractions together, we get (1/10) * (2/5) = 2/50.
So the answer is 2/50.
