The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle P and 1 Square Q whose areas are in the ratio of 3 : 1. Given that
18 of Rectangle P is shaded, what fraction of Square Q is shaded?
Area of Rectangle P |
Area of Square Q |
3x8 = 24 u |
1x8 = 8 u |

Area of Rectangle P is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle P is the same as the shaded area of Square Q.
LCM of 3 and 8 = 24
Fraction of Square Q that is shaded
