Solution Steps

To find the fraction of adults who are not confident about their retirement savings, divide the number of adults who are not confident by the total number of adults surveyed. Then, simplify the fraction to its lowest terms.

Step 1: Determine the Fraction

To find the fraction of adults who are not confident about their retirement savings, we start with the number of adults not confident, which is \( 145 \), and the total number of adults surveyed, which is \( 1000 \). Thus, the fraction can be expressed as:

\[ \text{Fraction} = \frac{145}{1000} \]

Step 2: Simplify the Fraction

Next, we simplify the fraction \( \frac{145}{1000} \). The greatest common divisor (GCD) of \( 145 \) and \( 1000 \) is \( 5 \). Therefore, we divide both the numerator and the denominator by \( 5 \):

\[ \frac{145 \div 5}{1000 \div 5} = \frac{29}{200} \]

Final Answer

The fraction of adults who are not confident that they will have enough saved to last through retirement is

\[ \boxed{\frac{29}{200}} \]
