The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle U and 1 Square V whose areas are in the ratio of 3 : 1. Given that
112 of Rectangle U is shaded, what fraction of Square V is shaded?
Area of Rectangle U |
Area of Square V |
3x4 = 12 u |
1x4 = 4 u |

Area of Rectangle U is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle U is the same as the shaded area of Square V.
LCM of 3 and 12 = 12
