Answer:
3/4
Explanation:
Correct question
You buy two ads in a newspaper. One ad takes up 5/8 of a page, and the other ad takes up 1/8 of a page. How much space did you buy for ads? As a fraction
Total ad bought is 2
First ad was 5/8 of the page
Second ad was 1/8 of the page
Total space bought for ad = 5/8 + 1/8
Find the LCM
Total space bought for ad = (5+1)/8
Total space bought for ad = 6/8
Total space bought for ad = 3/4
Hence she has bought 3/4 of the page for ad
