The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Square L and 1 Circle M whose areas are in the ratio of 4 : 1. Given that
16 of Square L is shaded, what fraction of Circle M is shaded?
Area of Square L |
Area of Circle M |
4x3 = 12 u |
1x3 = 3 u |

Area of Square L is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Square L is the same as the shaded area of Circle M.
LCM of 4 and 6 = 12
