The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle W and 1 Square X whose areas are in the ratio of 2 : 1. Given that
613 of Rectangle W is shaded, what fraction of Square X is shaded?
Area of Rectangle W |
Area of Square X |
2x13 = 26 u |
1x13 = 13 u |
Unshaded area |
Shaded area |

12 u |
Area of Rectangle W is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle W is the same as the shaded area of Square X.
LCM of 2 and 13 = 26
Fraction of Square X that is shaded
=
1213 Answer(s):
1213
