The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle M and 1 Square N whose areas are in the ratio of 2 : 1. Given that
15 of Rectangle M is shaded, what fraction of Square N is shaded?
Area of Rectangle M |
Area of Square N |
2x5 = 10 u |
1x5 = 5 u |
Unshaded area |
Shaded area |

2 u |
Area of Rectangle M is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle M is the same as the shaded area of Square N.
LCM of 2 and 5 = 10
Fraction of Square N that is shaded
