Answer:


(11)/(20)

Explanation:

Let x is the total population of the world.

Therefore, by the condition given the population of North America is
(2x)/(25)

Again it is given that
(11)/(250) fraction of the world's population lives in the United States of America.

So,
(11x)/(250) is the population of USA.

Therefore, the fraction of the population of North America that is the population of USA will be
((11x)/(250) )/((2x)/(25) ) =(11)/(20) (Answer)
