If the areas of the 4 squares are 50, 32, 18 and 12, what is the ratio of the small shaded portion to the area of the large shaded portion? a. 1: 8
b. 1: 6
c. 1: 4
d. 1: 3
e. 1: 1

D. 1:3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the areas of the 4 squares are 50, 32, 18 and 12,

Area of the small shade portion portion = 18 - 12 = 6

Area of the large shade portion portion = 50 - 32 = 18

Therefore, the ratio of the small shaded portion to the area of the large shaded portion

= 6:18

= 1:3
