The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle L and 1 Square M whose areas are in the ratio of 3 : 1. Given that
29 of Rectangle L is shaded, what fraction of Square M is shaded?
Area of Rectangle L |
Area of Square M |
3x3 = 9 u |
1x3 = 3 u |
Unshaded area |
Shaded area |
Unshaded area |
Shaded area |
7x1 |
2x1 |

2x1 |
7 u |
2 u |
|
2 u |
Area of Rectangle L is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle L is the same as the shaded area of Square M.
LCM of 3 and 9 = 9
Fraction of Square M that is shaded
