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

2 u |
Area of Rectangle A is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle A is the same as the shaded area of Square B.
LCM of 2 and 9 = 18
