The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle W and 1 Square X whose areas are in the ratio of 2 : 1. Given that
215 of Rectangle W is shaded, what fraction of Square X is shaded?
Area of Rectangle W |
Area of Square X |
2x15 = 30 u |
1x15 = 15 u |

Area of Rectangle W is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle W is the same as the shaded area of Square X.
LCM of 2 and 15 = 30
Fraction of Square X that is shaded
=
415 Answer(s):
415
