The figure, not drawn to scale, is made up of Square G and Rectangles H and J. The area of Square G is
23 of the total area of Rectangles H and J.
13 of Square G is shaded.
14 of Rectangle H is shaded.
15 of Rectangle J is shaded. What fraction of the figure is shaded?

J |
Comparing G and the
total of H and J |
2x3 =
6 u |
3x3 =
9 u |
| Total |
3x2 =
6 u |
4x1 =
4 u |
5x1 =
5 u |
| Shaded |
1x2 =
2 u |
1x1 =
1 u |
1x1 =
1 u |
| Unshaded |
2x2 =
4 u |
3x1 =
3 u |
4x1 =
4 u |
The area of G is repeated. Make the area of G the same. LCM of 2 and 3 is 6.
When G is 6 u, the total areas of H and J is 9 u.
Then adjust the values of H and J so that the total areas of H and J is equal to 9 u.
