The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 2 squares H and J whose areas are in the ratio of 2 : 1. Given that
512 of Square H is shaded, what fraction of Square J is shaded?

Area of Square H is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Square H is the same as the shaded area of Square J.
LCM of 2 and 12 = 12
