The unshaded area is the same for both.
Fraction of A that is unshaded
= 1 - 10/11
= 1/11
Fraction of B that is unshaded
= 1 - 4/5
= 1/5
The unshaded area is the same so the units must be the same for the 2 fractions' numerators. (Equal concept)
In this case it's already the same.
1/11 of A = 1/5 of B
Looking at the denominator,
We can say area A is 11 units and area B is 5 units.
The numerator tells us that unshaded area is 1 unit.
Area of whole figure
= Area of A + Area of B - area of overlap
= 11 units + 5 units - 1 unit
= 15 units
Shaded area A = 11 units - 1 unit
= 10 units
Ratio of shaded area A to whole figure
= 10 : 15
= 2 : 3
Fraction of A that is unshaded
= 1 - 10/11
= 1/11
Fraction of B that is unshaded
= 1 - 4/5
= 1/5
The unshaded area is the same so the units must be the same for the 2 fractions' numerators. (Equal concept)
In this case it's already the same.
1/11 of A = 1/5 of B
Looking at the denominator,
We can say area A is 11 units and area B is 5 units.
The numerator tells us that unshaded area is 1 unit.
Area of whole figure
= Area of A + Area of B - area of overlap
= 11 units + 5 units - 1 unit
= 15 units
Shaded area A = 11 units - 1 unit
= 10 units
Ratio of shaded area A to whole figure
= 10 : 15
= 2 : 3
