The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle C and 1 Square D whose areas are in the ratio of 4 : 1. Given that
116 of Rectangle C is shaded, what fraction of Square D is shaded?

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 4 and 16 = 16
