The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle K and 1 Square L whose areas are in the ratio of 2 : 1. Given that
715 of Rectangle K is shaded, what fraction of Square L is shaded?
Area of Rectangle K |
Area of Square L |
2x15 = 30 u |
1x15 = 15 u |
Unshaded area |
Shaded area |
Unshaded area |
Shaded area |
8x2 |

|
7x2 |
16 u |
14 u |
|
14 u |
Area of Rectangle K is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle K is the same as the shaded area of Square L.
LCM of 2 and 15 = 30
Fraction of Square L that is shaded
=
1415 Answer(s):
1415
