The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle J and 1 Square K whose areas are in the ratio of 2 : 1. Given that
512 of Rectangle J is shaded, what fraction of Square K is shaded?
Area of Rectangle J |
Area of Square K |
2x6 = 12 u |
1x6 = 6 u |
Unshaded area |

Area of Rectangle J is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle J is the same as the shaded area of Square K.
LCM of 2 and 12 = 12
Fraction of Square K that is shaded
