The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle J and 1 Square K whose areas are in the ratio of 2 : 1. Given that
38 of Rectangle J is shaded, what fraction of Square K is shaded?
Area of Rectangle J |
Area of Square K |
2x4 = 8 u |
1x4 = 4 u |
Unshaded area |
Shaded area |

5 u |
3 u |
|
3 u |
Area of Rectangle J is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle J is the same as the shaded area of Square K.
LCM of 2 and 8 = 8
Fraction of Square K that is shaded
