To determine the fraction of the population that children represent (given that it's approximately 22%), we can convert this percentage into a fraction.
22% can be expressed as the fraction \( \frac{22}{100} \).
To simplify \( \frac{22}{100} \):
1. Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 22 and 100, which is 2.
2. Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2:
\[
\frac{22 \div 2}{100 \div 2} = \frac{11}{50}
\]
So, the fraction of the US population that are children is \( \frac{11}{50} \).
The correct answer is **A 11/50**.
