The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle L and 1 Square M whose areas are in the ratio of 2 : 1. Given that
116 of Rectangle L is shaded, what fraction of Square M is shaded?
Area of Rectangle L |
Area of Square M |
2x8 = 16 u |
1x8 = 8 u |

Area of Rectangle L is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle L is the same as the shaded area of Square M.
LCM of 2 and 16 = 16
