The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle V and 1 Square W whose areas are in the ratio of 2 : 1. Given that
516 of Rectangle V is shaded, what fraction of Square W is shaded?
Area of Rectangle V |
Area of Square W |
2x8 = 16 u |
1x8 = 8 u |

Area of Rectangle V is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle V is the same as the shaded area of Square W.
LCM of 2 and 16 = 16
