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
18 of Rectangle L is shaded, what fraction of Square M is shaded?
Area of Rectangle L |
Area of Square M |
4x2 = 8 u |
1x2 = 2 u |
Unshaded area |
Shaded area |
Unshaded area |
Shaded area |
7x1 |
1x1 |
|
1x1 |
7 u |
1 u |
|
1 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 8 = 8
Fraction of Square M that is shaded
=
