The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle H and 1 Square J whose areas are in the ratio of 3 : 1. Given that
16 of Rectangle H is shaded, what fraction of Square J is shaded?
Area of Rectangle H |
Area of Square J |
3x2 = 6 u |
1x2 = 2 u |
Unshaded area |
Shaded area |
Unshaded area |
Shaded area |
5x1 |

1x1 |
5 u |
1 u |
|
1 u |
Area of Rectangle H is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle H is the same as the shaded area of Square J.
LCM of 3 and 6 = 6
Fraction of Square J that is shaded
