The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle Q and 1 Square R whose areas are in the ratio of 4 : 1. Given that
316 of Rectangle Q is shaded, what fraction of Square R is shaded?
Area of Rectangle Q |
Area of Square R |
4x4 = 16 u |
1x4 = 4 u |

Area of Rectangle Q is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle Q is the same as the shaded area of Square R.
LCM of 4 and 16 = 16
