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

3 u |
Area of Rectangle S is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle S is the same as the shaded area of Square T.
LCM of 3 and 5 = 15
Fraction of Square T that is shaded
