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

Area of Rectangle T is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle T is the same as the shaded area of Square U.
LCM of 4 and 16 = 16
