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 (1/10) by the fraction of people with diabetes who have not been diagnosed (2/5).
(1/10) * (2/5) = (1*2) / (10*5) = 2/50
The fraction of the U.S. population with undiagnosed diabetes is 2/50.
Question 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.
