The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 2 squares W and X whose areas are in the ratio of 2 : 1. Given that
25 of Square W is shaded, what fraction of Square X is shaded?
Area of Square W |
Area of Square X |
2x5 = 10 u |
1x5 = 5 u |

Area of Square W is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Square W is the same as the shaded area of Square X.
LCM of 2 and 5 = 10
