The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle E and 1 Square F whose areas are in the ratio of 3 : 1. Given that
115 of Rectangle E is shaded, what fraction of Square F is shaded?
Area of Rectangle E |
Area of Square F |
3x5 = 15 u |
1x5 = 5 u |
Unshaded area |
Shaded area |

Area of Rectangle E is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle E is the same as the shaded area of Square F.
LCM of 3 and 15 = 15
Fraction of Square F that is shaded
=
15 Answer(s):
15
