The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 2 squares D and E whose areas are in the ratio of 2 : 1. Given that
49 of Square D is shaded, what fraction of Square E is shaded?

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