The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Square K and 1 Circle L whose areas are in the ratio of 3 : 1. Given that
16 of Square K is shaded, what fraction of Circle L is shaded?
Area of Square K |
Area of Circle L |
3x2 = 6 u |
1x2 = 2 u |

Area of Square K is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Square K is the same as the shaded area of Circle L.
LCM of 3 and 6 = 6
