The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle M and 1 Square N whose areas are in the ratio of 2 : 1. Given that
38 of Rectangle M is shaded, what fraction of Square N is shaded?
Area of Rectangle M |
Area of Square N |
2x4 = 8 u |
1x4 = 4 u |
Unshaded area |
Shaded area |
Unshaded area |
Shaded area |
5x1 |
3x1 |

3x1 |
5 u |
3 u |
|
3 u |
Area of Rectangle M is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle M is the same as the shaded area of Square N.
LCM of 2 and 8 = 8
Fraction of Square N that is shaded
=
