Answer: 12,500,000 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The fraction of people  over 65 years in United Kingdom is affected by Alzheimer = [tex]\dfrac{1}{50}[/tex]

Also, the number of affected people  over 65 years= 250,000

According to the question :

(Number of  affected  people) =( fraction of people  affected) x (Total people)

Then, (Total people) = (Number of  affected  people) ÷( fraction of people  affected)

[tex]=(250000)\div\dfrac{1}{50}\\\\=250000\times50\\\\=12,500,000[/tex]

Hence, the number of people over 65 are 12,500,000 .
