Two rectangles A and B are overlapped. The area of the overlapped part is one fourth of a and one sixth of B. the known area of a is 24 square centimeters of B To solve by proportion

Two rectangles A and B are overlapped. The area of the overlapped part is one fourth of a and one sixth of B. the known area of a is 24 square centimeters of B To solve by proportion

Let the area of B be X
One sixth x one = 24 × one fourth
One sixth x = 6
x =36
