The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle C and 1 Square D whose areas are in the ratio of 4 : 1. Given that
15 of Rectangle C is shaded, what fraction of Square D is shaded?
Area of Rectangle C |
Area of Square D |
4x5 = 20 u |
1x5 = 5 u |
Unshaded area |
Shaded area |

4 u |
Area of Rectangle C is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle C is the same as the shaded area of Square D.
LCM of 4 and 5 = 20
Fraction of Square D that is shaded
