The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle Y and 1 Square Z whose areas are in the ratio of 2 : 1. Given that
38 of Rectangle Y is shaded, what fraction of Square Z is shaded?
Area of Rectangle Y |
Area of Square Z |
2x4 = 8 u |
1x4 = 4 u |
Unshaded area |
Shaded area |
Unshaded area |
Shaded area |
5x1 |
3x1 |

3x1 |
5 u |
3 u |
|
3 u |
Area of Rectangle Y is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle Y is the same as the shaded area of Square Z.
LCM of 2 and 8 = 8
Fraction of Square Z that is shaded
=
