The square is divided into 4 parts, N, P, Q and R. N and P form
12 of the square. The area of R is double of the area of Q, while the ratio of the area of P to the area of N is 1 : 4. What fraction of the square is the sum of the area of P and Q? Leave your answer in the simplest form.

Since N and P form
12 of the square, the sum of the areas of N and P is the same as the sum of the areas of Q and R.
Sum of P and Q
= 12 u + 5 u
= 17 u
Area of the square
= 10 u + 5 u + 12 u + 3 u
= 30 u
Fraction of the sum of the areas of P and Q to the whole square =
