The figure, not drawn to scale, consists of 1 Rectangle J and 1 Square K whose areas are in the ratio of 4 : 1. Given that
17 of Rectangle J is shaded, what fraction of Square K is shaded?
Area of Rectangle J |
Area of Square K |
4x7 = 28 u |
1x7 = 7 u |

Area of Rectangle J is the repeated identity.
Shaded area of Rectangle J is the same as the shaded area of Square K.
LCM of 4 and 7 = 28
Fraction of Square K that is shaded
