The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle H and 1 Square J whose areas are in the ratio of 4 : 1. Given that
16 of Rectangle H is shaded, what fraction of Square J is shaded?
Area of Rectangle H |
Area of Square J |
4x3 = 12 u |
1x3 = 3 u |
Unshaded area |
Shaded area |

2 u |
Area of Rectangle H is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle H is the same as the shaded area of Square J.
LCM of 4 and 6 = 12
Fraction of Square J that is shaded
