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
