The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle R and 1 Square S whose areas are in the ratio of 2 : 1. Given that
113 of Rectangle R is shaded, what fraction of Square S is shaded?
Area of Rectangle R |
Area of Square S |
2x13 = 26 u |
1x13 = 13 u |
Unshaded area |

2 u |
Area of Rectangle R is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle R is the same as the shaded area of Square S.
LCM of 2 and 13 = 26
Fraction of Square S that is shaded
=
