The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle B and 1 Square C whose areas are in the ratio of 2 : 1. Given that
38 of Rectangle B is shaded, what fraction of Square C is shaded?
| Area of Rectangle B |
Area of Square C |
| 2x4 = 8 u |
1x4 = 4 u |
| Unshaded area |
Shaded area |
Unshaded area |
Shaded area |
| 5x1 |
3x1 |
|
3x1 |
| 5 u |
3 u |
|
3 u |
Area of Rectangle B is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle B is the same as the shaded area of Square C.
LCM of 2 and 8 = 8
Fraction of Square C that is shaded
=
