The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle M and 1 Square N whose areas are in the ratio of 4 : 1. Given that
18 of Rectangle M is shaded, what fraction of Square N is shaded?
Area of Rectangle M |
Area of Square N |
4x2 = 8 u |
1x2 = 2 u |
Unshaded area |
Shaded area |
Unshaded area |
Shaded area |
7x1 |
1x1 |
|
1x1 |
7 u |
1 u |
|
1 u |
Area of Rectangle M is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle M is the same as the shaded area of Square N.
LCM of 4 and 8 = 8
Fraction of Square N that is shaded
=
