The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 2 squares X and Y whose areas are in the ratio of 2 : 1. Given that
49 of Square X is shaded, what fraction of Square Y is shaded?
Area of Square X |
Area of Square Y |
2x9 = 18 u |
1x9 = 9 u |

Area of Square X is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Square X is the same as the shaded area of Square Y.
LCM of 2 and 9 = 18
Fraction of Square Y that is shaded
