The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle K and 1 Square L whose areas are in the ratio of 4 : 1. Given that
16 of Rectangle K is shaded, what fraction of Square L is shaded?
| Area of Rectangle K |
Area of Square L |
| 4x3 = 12 u |
1x3 = 3 u |
| Unshaded area |
Shaded area |
Unshaded area |
Shaded area |
| 5x2 |
1x2 |
|
1x2 |
| 10 u |
2 u |
|
2 u |
Area of Rectangle K is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle K is the same as the shaded area of Square L.
LCM of 4 and 6 = 12
Fraction of Square L that is shaded
=
