The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle R and 1 Square S whose areas are in the ratio of 4 : 1. Given that
316 of Rectangle R is shaded, what fraction of Square S is shaded?
Area of Rectangle R |
Area of Square S |
4x4 = 16 u |
1x4 = 4 u |

Area of Rectangle R is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle R is the same as the shaded area of Square S.
LCM of 4 and 16 = 16
Fraction of Square S that is shaded
