The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle H and 1 Square J whose areas are in the ratio of 3 : 1. Given that
316 of Rectangle H is shaded, what fraction of Square J is shaded?

Area of Rectangle H is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle H is the same as the shaded area of Square J.
LCM of 3 and 16 = 48
Fraction of Square J that is shaded
