The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle L and 1 Square M whose areas are in the ratio of 4 : 1. Given that
211 of Rectangle L is shaded, what fraction of Square M is shaded?
Area of Rectangle L |
Area of Square M |
4x11 = 44 u |
1x11 = 11 u |

Area of Rectangle L is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle L is the same as the shaded area of Square M.
LCM of 4 and 11 = 44
Fraction of Square M that is shaded
=
