The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle Q and 1 Square R whose areas are in the ratio of 3 : 1. Given that
112 of Rectangle Q is shaded, what fraction of Square R is shaded?

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