The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle N and 1 Square P whose areas are in the ratio of 4 : 1. Given that
18 of Rectangle N is shaded, what fraction of Square P is shaded?
Area of Rectangle N |
Area of Square P |
4x2 = 8 u |
1x2 = 2 u |
Unshaded area |
Shaded area |
Unshaded area |
Shaded area |
7x1 |
1x1 |
|
1x1 |
7 u |
1 u |
|
1 u |
Area of Rectangle N is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle N is the same as the shaded area of Square P.
LCM of 4 and 8 = 8
Fraction of Square P that is shaded
=
