The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Square L and 1 Circle M whose areas are in the ratio of 2 : 1. Given that
14 of Square L is shaded, what fraction of Circle M is shaded?
Area of Square L |
Area of Circle M |
2x2 = 4 u |
1x2 = 2 u |

1 u |
Area of Square L is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Square L is the same as the shaded area of Circle M.
LCM of 2 and 4 = 4
Fraction of Circle M that is shaded
