The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle C and 1 Square D whose areas are in the ratio of 2 : 1. Given that
14 of Rectangle C is shaded, what fraction of Square D is shaded?
Area of Rectangle C |
Area of Square D |
2x2 = 4 u |
1x2 = 2 u |
Unshaded area |
Shaded area |
Unshaded area |
Shaded area |
3x1 |
1x1 |
|
1x1 |
3 u |
1 u |
|
1 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 2 and 4 = 4
Fraction of Square D that is shaded
=
