Question

advertisers purchase 1/8 and 1/16 of page 20 what fraction of the page is used for ads?

Answer 1

So,

All we have to do is add the fractions together.

LCM of 8 and 16: 16

$\frac{1}{8} * \frac{2}{2} --\ \textgreater \ \frac{2}{16}$

$\frac{2}{16} + \frac{1}{16} = \frac{3}{16}$

Three-sixteenths of the page is used for ads.
