The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle X and 1 Square Y whose areas are in the ratio of 3 : 1. Given that
516 of Rectangle X is shaded, what fraction of Square Y is shaded?
Area of Rectangle X |
Area of Square Y |
3x16 = 48 u |
1x16 = 16 u |
Unshaded area |
Shaded area |
Unshaded area |
Shaded area |
11x3 |
5x3 |
|
5x3 |
33 u |
15 u |
|
15 u |
Area of Rectangle X is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle X is the same as the shaded area of Square Y.
LCM of 3 and 16 = 48
Fraction of Square Y that is shaded
=
1516 Answer(s):
1516
