The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle C and 1 Square D whose areas are in the ratio of 2 : 1. Given that
17 of Rectangle C is shaded, what fraction of Square D is shaded?
Area of Rectangle C |
Area of Square D |
2x7 = 14 u |
1x7 = 7 u |
Unshaded area |
Shaded area |

2 u |
Area of Rectangle C is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle C is the same as the shaded area of Square D.
LCM of 2 and 7 = 14
Fraction of Square D that is shaded
